A Colorado man has been charged in connection with a chase last fall that ended in a crash at a west Wichita intersection.
48-year-old Ricardo Trevizo of Colorado Springs is charged with aggravated battery while driving under the influence. He also has an alternative charge of aggravated battery. Prosecutors can present alternative charges if there are two or more theories on how the crime was committed, and each charge can be presented to a jury. Trevizo is also charged with fleeing or attempting to elude.
Trevizo’s bond was set at $100,000 and another court appearance is scheduled for September 26th.
Trevizo was arrested on October 9th, 2021 after a crash at Kellogg and 119th Street West. Police were chasing a vehicle that hit a motorcycle at the intersection. The motorcycle rider, 25-year-old Humberto Estrada, was injured and later had to have his left leg amputated.
