A Wellington woman has been identified as the person killed in a motorcycle accident early Wednesday about five miles west of Winfield.
53-year-old Salena M. Dennis was eastbound on U.S. 160 when her 2010 Harley-Davidson FLH struck a deer that entered the roadway. She could not avoid the animal, according to the KHP report.
Initial reports indicated multiple vehicles may have been involved, but no other vehicles were included in the highway patrol report. Dennis is said to have worked in Cowley County, according to those who knew her.
The highway patrol showed 5:23 a.m. as the time of the accident. The Kansas Dept. of Transportation had the section of roadway closed for several hours while an investigation took place.
Dennis was not wearing a helmet, according to the report.
