89-year-old seriously hurt

in ATV crash

A Hillsboro man was so badly injured Saturday in an accident on Indigo Rd. that he was airlifted to a Wichita hospital.

Lloyd Funk, 89, was driving northbound on Indigo Rd. when he attempted to turn left into a field entrance on the west side of the road.

His Arctic Cat was struck on its left rear corner by a northbound 2013 Lincoln MKX driven by Kathleen A. Decker, 84, of Bel Aire.

Funk initially was taken to Hillsboro Community Hospital by Hillsboro ambulance, then airlifted to Wesley Medical Center by a LifeSave helicopter.

Undersheriff Larry Starkey said Funk was not wearing a seat belt or helmet when the accident happened.

Decker was not injured and declined to be taken to a hospital.

Starkey said no citations were written.
