Sedgwick County, KS (August 27, 2025) – On Wednesday morning, August 27, a two-vehicle crash with reported injuries occurred on northbound I-135 near mile marker 2, approximately 0.4 miles north of Hydraulic Avenue in Sedgwick County. The collision was reported at around 10:15 a.m. and involved a Kia Sorento and a Lexus LS.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the Kia was traveling northbound in lane one at a speed too fast for roadway conditions and struck the Lexus, which was traveling in lane two. The impact left both vehicles disabled and in need of towing. The driver of the Lexus, a 56-year-old woman from Wichita, was transported to Wesley Derby ER with possible injuries after complaining of pain. The Kia driver, a 66-year-old man also from Wichita, was taken to Ascension Via Christi St. Joseph for evaluation but was not reported to have any visible injuries. Traffic delays occurred as crews worked to clear the accident scene. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Our thoughts are with the victims and their families at this time. We hope for a full and speedy recovery for those injured in this collision.
Speed-Related Crashes in Kansas
Driving too fast for roadway conditions is a leading cause of crashes across Kansas. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) reports that speed-related crashes often result in more severe injuries because higher speeds reduce reaction time and increase the force of impact. Even when drivers stay within posted limits, conditions such as wet roads, heavy traffic, or reduced visibility may require slower speeds to drive safely. Every year, thousands of accidents occur nationwide due to drivers failing to adjust their speed, many of which could have been prevented with greater caution.
