Sheriff: Investigators continue to probe wreck that killed Washburn University ... - Topeka Capital Journal
Glenda Taylor was quick to offer a smile to her students, friends and even strangers, attendees of a candlelight vigil in her honor said Monday night in front of the Washburn University Arts Building. “She was definitely a champion of students and the department itself,” said Nicole Wilson, a recent Washburn University art graduate. Wilson and Ryan Caldwell, also a recent Washburn art graduate, helped organize the vigil in honor of Taylor, who was chairwoman of the WU art department and an art professor. Taylor was killed Sunday in a biking accident in southeast Kansas. More than 150 people gathered outside the arts building, holding candles, laughing, crying, hugging and sharing stories about Taylor. In the meantime, officials Monday continued to investigate the traffic death, which took place in Crawford County. No citations were issued, and no one was arrested in connection with the Taylor’s death, the Crawford County sheriff said Monday. During an interview, Sheriff Dan Peak said a “solid date” to complete the investigation of Taylor’s death hadn’t been set. Taylor was killed Sunday morning during a bicycle-truck collision at a bicycle time trials in the town of Walnut in Crawford County in southeast Kansas. Taylor was competing in the Kansas State Time Trials. Source: cjonline.com
