Topeka, KS (March 14, 2026) – One person was rushed to an area hospital following a Topeka pedestrian accident that occurred on Friday evening, March 13. The incident took place at the intersection of SW Fellows Street and SW Fillmore Street.
The incident occurred at approximately 9:55 p.m. Topeka police on the scene requested an emergency response from fire and medical units, prompting Engine 5, Aerial 5, and rescue crews to respond.
Upon arrival, first responders provided immediate aid to the victim, who was then transported to a local hospital for treatment. The severity of the pedestrian’s injuries prompted a request for an emergent response, indicating a potentially serious situation.
The Topeka Police Department blocked the surrounding streets for a short time to conduct an initial investigation into the circumstances of the collision. No information regarding the driver or the vehicle involved has been released. The incident is currently under investigation.
We hope the pedestrian recovers quickly from their injuries. Our thoughts are with them at this time.
