Arkansas City Police Investigate Injury Accident

On October 5, 2024, at approximately 11:35 a.m., officers from the Arkansas City Police Department were dispatched to the 1100 block of North 1st Street in response to a report of an injury accident involving a motorbike.

Upon arrival, officers contacted the suspect, Nicole Marie Rosola, 31, Arkansas City, who was found sitting on the curb. Rosola exhibited significant injuries, including a head injury and injuries to her elbows, knees, and hands. She was unable to stand for EMS personnel and reported feeling lightheaded.

During the investigation, Rosola stated that she believed she lost control of her motorbike and admitted to consuming alcoholic beverages prior to operating the vehicle. The reporting party indicated they had heard what sounded like a lawn mower motor and, shortly thereafter, discovered Rosola unconscious in the roadway.

Rosola was transported to the South Central Kansas Regional Medical Center for treatment. Due to suspicions of driving under the influence, she consented to a blood draw. Subsequently, she was transported to the Wesley Trauma Center in Wichita for further medical attention.

This case will be forwarded to the prosecuting attorney for review, with potential charges, including Driving Under the Influence. A court of law determines a suspect's guilt or innocence
