Investigators believe a medical issue was the cause of an accident on Main in Winfield Saturday afternoon, Winfield Police Chief Robbie DeLong said Tuesday.
The driver, 66-year-old Gretchen Reed, a local woman, died a short time after the accident, which happened at Jumpstart convenience store. DeLong said police are waiting for information from a coroner’s examination to determine whether Reed died as a result of the medical condition or the accident.
Reed was taken to a Winfield hospital and later died. A passenger was also taken to the hospital for treatment and expected to fully recover.
