WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A mother and her two children have been critically injured after a fiery car crash early Sunday night.
According to Sedgwick County Dispatch, the crash happened a little before 5:20 p.m. in the 20,000 block of W 39th St S.
Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) Sergeant Douglas Robertson says it was a single-car crash.
“As far as we know it, some witnesses say it did roll. But we don’t know what caught it on fire unless it was a fuel system or something like that,” Robertson said. “It’s a large SUV, but since it caught on fire, I cannot tell you exactly what it is. I don’t even know the year yet.”
A mother in her early 30s, her 4-year-old daughter and her 2-year-old son, were all critically injured, according to Robertson. He says they were all transported to a local hospital.
Robertson says an investigation is ongoing to determine the cause of the crash.
