17-year-old Stephanie Valentine, of Norwich, died after a crash involving a semi and a passenger car southwest of Wichita.
The accident was reported around 2:30 Monday afternoon at 135th Street West and MacArthur. Valentine was taken to a hospital in critical condition, and the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office reported that she died Tuesday morning. She was a passenger in a car driven by a 43-year-old man, who was seriously hurt.
Deputies said it appears that the car failed to yield at a stop sign going south on 135th, and it collided with the eastbound semi. The 38-year-old driver of the semi was not injured. The crash is still under investigation.
