Police said an off-duty Wichita police detective was arrested late Friday night after she was involved in a crash with a Q-Line bus downtown.
The crash was reported around 11:50 p.m. at Douglas and Waco, when a passenger car collided with the Q-Line bus. The driver of the car was off-duty detective MaryAnna Hoyt, and police said she showed signs of impairment. The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office was called to investigate the crash, and Hoyt was booked for DUI.
The bus had minor damage and the driver was not hurt. Hoyt was not injured in the crash.
Police said Hoyt has been with the Wichita Police Department for 15 years and was assigned to the Investigation Division. She has been placed on paid administrative leave. Police said there will be an internal investigation after the Sheriff’s Office completes its investigation of the crash.
