Wichita has had a record number of pedestrian deaths already this year, data shows

A man who was killed Tuesday while crossing South Seneca is the latest in a record number of pedestrians killed in Wichita this year. This year’s number of pedestrian fatalities is roughly three times higher than it was for 18 years — before a spike in the past four years. Police records on pedestrian deaths, which go back to 2000, show that Wichita had five or fewer deaths each year until 2018, when eight people were killed. There were 11 in 2021; and there have been 14 so far this year.
