Pedestrian killed in weekend crash identified

kta wichita(AP) — The Kansas Turnpike Authority has identified the pedestrian who was killed when he was struck by a tractor-trailer along the highway.

The KTA says 21-year-old Adrian Trotter was struck by the semi along Interstate-335 outside Topeka on Friday night.

The KTA says the vehicle Trotter had been driving had earlier hit the median wall about 10 miles south of the South Topeka toll plaza. Trotter and his passenger got out of the vehicle and ran.

Multiple vehicles struck Trotter’s unoccupied car, and Trotter stepped out into northbound traffic where he was struck and killed by the semi.
