Vehicle crashes into Mexican butcher shop, driver not breathing

One person has been critically injured after a vehicle crashed into the awing of a grocery store in west Wichita Saturday night, authorities said.

The crash was reported shortly after 6 p.m. in the 3000 block of West 13th, Wichita Police Sgt. Bill Stevens said. A vehicle traveling west on 13th drifted off the street and struck a pole holding up the awning in front of Tianguis Carniceria, a Mexican butcher shop.

When first responders arrived at the scene, they found that the driver was not breathing. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

A medical condition is believed to have caused the crash, Stevens said. No one else was injured in the incident.
