SEDGWICK COUNTY —A man accused in connection with an October 2021 chase and crash in Wichita has been charged in the case.

On Friday, Ricardo Trevizo, 48 of Colorado Springs, was charged with aggravated battery while DUI, or in the alternative, aggravated battery.  He’s also charged with flee or attempt to elude with an alternative count of flee or attempt to elude, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.  The 5th count is a misdemeanor, drive while license is suspended or canceled.  

In October of 2021,  police arrested Trevizo after a crash at the intersection of Kellogg and 119th Street, according to Wichita Police.  Officers were chasing a vehicle that hit a motorcycle driven by 25-year-old Humberto Estrada. Estrada was critically injured.

Trevizio remains jailed on a bond of $100,000, according online jail records.  Attorneys in the case are scheduled to discuss future dates on Sept. 26, according to the district attorney's office.

Note: Cases can be charged alternatively if there are two or more theories of how the crime was committed. Each charge can be presented to a jury and a defendant may be convicted of more than one of the alternative charges.  However, the defendant can only be sentenced for one of the alternative counts, that being the most severe offense.
