The Nims and Stackman roundabout is located on Wichita’s northwest side, where vehicle traffic, cyclists, and pedestrians share a compact traffic pattern. Roundabouts in this area are designed to keep traffic moving, but can present challenges when multiple road users converge at once. When injury crashes occur here, responders must manage limited space within the circle while assessing injuries and documenting how the incident unfolded before traffic flow can safely return to normal.
What to Do Next
- If you are involved in a bicycle or vehicle crash, move to a safe location if possible and check for injuries. Call 911 if medical help is needed.
- Remain at the scene and follow instructions from emergency responders.
- If it is safe, document the scene and any damaged bicycles or vehicles.
- Monitor how you feel after the crash, as some injuries may appear later.
