Media summary: Bicyclist Toni Sena was killed by a motorist involved in a high-speed chase with police from both Kansas and Missouri. Sena was riding with her husband and other friends in the weekly Brookside Ride when William R. Beggs, 40, who had reportedly run over a man earlier, drove down a residential street at high speed, striking Sena with his pickup truck and then running over her. In December 2004, Beggs pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in Sena's death. The case prompted police to change their pursuit policy in 2004.
