COWLEY COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating an accident that critically injured a woman Sunday.
Just after 5p.m. officers were dispatched to the 600 block of South C Street for a report of an accident, according to media release from police.
They learned that a woman had been underneath a 1995 GMC pickup truck, working on the muffler, when she asked a family member to drive the vehicle forward.
The vehicle instead traveled in reverse and ran over the woman. She was under the rear portion of the truck.
The truck continued to back up southbound and crossed C Street, striking a parked 2012 Chevrolet.
Arkansas City Fire-EMS Department transported the woman by ambulance to South Central Kansas Medical Center and then she was airlifted to a Wichita-area hospital.
Authorities have not released the victim's name or additional details.
