HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A local man was airlifted to a Wichita hospital with head injuries after he lost control of his moped around 6:30 p.m. last night.
Police tell us that 41-year-old Christopher Lyle Hamby of 719 East C in Hutchinson crashed near the intersection of Grandview and East 3rd. They believe speed may have been a factor in the crash as he lost control and then wiped out the moped.
Hamby suffered head injuries and as common practice with this type of wound, victims are flown to Wichita for treatment of their injuries. Hamby was first taken to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center then flown to Via-Cristi St. Francis Regional Center for treatment.
It’s believed he was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
