SEDGWICK COUNTY —A Kansas woman found guilty of a road-rage crash that injured a motorcyclist has been sentenced.
On Monday, Judge Bruce Brown sentenced 27-year-old Tkeyah Hurd of Wichita to 24 months probation, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
In April, police were patrolling near Harry and McLean in Wichita when they came upon a 62-year-old man sitting on the side of the road in pain next to his blue 2006 Harley Davidson motorcycle that had rear-end damage, according to Officer Chad Ditch.
The victim stated that Tkeyah Hurd of Wichita intentionally hit him and then fled in her maroon 2013 Chrysler 200. EMS transported the man to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries for treatment.
The investigation revealed that Hurd driving her Chrysler 200 and the victim on a motorcycle were westbound on Pawnee Street when the motorcycle turned northbound onto Broadway from the inside lane and Hurd turned Northbound onto Broadway from the outside lane almost striking the motorcycle. A verbal exchange occurred between Hurd and the victim and they continued northbound onto Broadway.
Several minutes later the victim was approaching Harry and McLean when he glanced into his rear-view mirror and noticed a vehicle approaching him quickly. The vehicle then struck the victim and as he fell off the motorcycle, he was able to see it was the maroon Chrysler 200 driven by Hurd.
Several witnesses saw the collision and followed Hurd until she parked the vehicle and walked away from it at the intersection of Boston and Wichita Streets.
Police took her into custody. According to the district attorney's office Hurd has an underlying sentence of 11-months.
