Terry Moore, a 65-year-old resident of Wichita, has been identified as the woman who tragically lost her life in a rollover accident at the intersection of 56th Street and Plum Street roundabout.
This information was confirmed by Steve Lutz, Patrol Captain for the Reno County Sheriff’s office.

According to Lutz, there is currently no additional information regarding the accident.
A driver, whose identity remains unknown as of 1 p.m., lost their life in a rollover accident at the intersection of 56th and Plum Street on an early Thursday morning.
At 3:13 a.m., the Reno County Sheriff’s office received a call and promptly responded to the scene. Upon arrival, they found a vehicle flipped onto its side in the northeast ditch.
According to a statement on the Sheriff’s website, it appears that the driver was ejected from the vehicle during the accident. Despite life-saving efforts at the scene, the driver was unfortunately declared dead on the scene.
According to the statement from the Sheriff’s office, it seems that the vehicle was heading south and was unable to navigate the curve at 56th and Plum Street, resulting in a collision with a culvert. This collision caused the vehicle to become airborne and roll over.
According to the statement, the authorities have not been able to positively identify the individual involved in the incident, as there was no form of identification found at the scene.
The Hutchinson Police Department, Hutchinson Fire Department, Reno County EMS, and the Sheriff’s office all collaborated as responding agencies.
