A Wichita man has been charged in connection with a May, 2021 crash in a south side neighborhood that killed one person and injured two others.
34-year-old Michael Wayne Walker appeared in court Friday to face charges of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of aggravated battery, and a misdemeanor count of driving with a suspended or canceled license.
Police said Walker was driving on the wrong side of the road when his car collided with another vehicle at Pawnee and Glenn on the afternoon of May 29th, 2021. Walker and his passenger had minor injuries, but three people in the other vehicle were more seriously hurt. One of them, 74-year-old Rita Hawkins of Wichita, died later at a hospital.
Walker’s bond was set at $100,000 and his next court appearance was scheduled for March 27th.
