A Wichita woman is asking for the Wichita Police Department’s help in monitoring speeding in her neighborhood. She says she lives near Meridian and Pawnee. On Wednesday, police were called out to a hit-in-run that injured a 9-year-old boy. Police say two pick-up trucks were racing in the 2700 block of S. Meridian Ave. The injured child was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive. “I can watch them coming down the street and they’re flying at a high rate of speed,” said Leigh, who has lived in the area for 25 years. She wants WPD to see what she is experiencing firsthand. WPD agrees that it’s an issue, but it’s not a simple fix. “It’s not something that you can just go out in a specific location and wait for two people to come up and race, a lot of times spontaneous,” said Sergeant Keith Fort with the Wichita Police Department. Leigh fears there could be more incidents if something isn’t done.
