MCPHERSON COUNTY — The Kansas Highway Patrol is seeking information on a fatal accident that occurred Saturday night in McPherson County.
According to a social media post from Kansas Highway Patrol Troop C, on the night of September 30th, a fatal hit and run crash involving a vehicle and a bicyclist occurred on 17th Avenue just south of Mohawk Rd in McPherson County.
A witness described the vehicle involved as a white Chevy or GMC pickup truck, seen driving erratically on 17th before turning west onto Northview near the city of McPherson. Troopers found a sticker on the scene, linking the vehicle to a 2004-2012 GMC Canyon or Chevy Colorado. It's likely to have damage on the front right side and possibly a missing right turn signal bulb.
We are asking the community for their help in locating the vehicle involved, and the driver of the vehicle. We believe the person responsible might be local, given the route they took. Please be vigilant when driving through McPherson and keep an eye out for this specific type of vehicle. Your assistance is crucial in helping us find the responsible party.
If you have any information, witnessed the incident, or have seen a vehicle matching this description, please contact the Kansas Highway Patrol dispatch at 785-827-4437 or the local authorities.
