SEDGWICK COUNTY—A Colorado man will be in court to learn his fate Thursday for a crash that killed an 82-year-old Kansas woman.
Austin Hedges, 26, is scheduled for sentencing in Judge Seth Rundle's courtroom, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
In November Hedges pleaded guilty to charges of reckless involuntary manslaughter in the death of Kathy Knorr, according to the District Attorney's office.
On March 16, 2024, a vehicle driven by Hedges was northbound on Rock Road in Wichita and struck a vehicle driven by Knorr who was turning from Killarney Court onto southbound Rock Road, according to Wichita Police.
EMS transported Knorr to a local hospital. She died on March 30. The Weld County Colorado Sheriff arrested Hedges on April 19 and he was returned to Kansas to face charges. Hedges met the conditions of bond and is not currently in custody.
