WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Police say a 35-year-old man has died after being run over by a vehicle that crashed into a building in downtown Wichita.
Wichita police Lt. Jason Stephens said Monday that officers were called to a security alarm going off at a building around 4 a.m. Sunday and discovered that the alarm had been triggered by a vehicle that had driven through the front of the business.
Stephens said that the vehicle’s occupants had fled the scene, but officers found a pedestrian who had been run over and “pushed into the business.”
The pedestrian, Mandrell Washington, was taken to a hospital, where he later died. Police say it is unclear if Washington was struck intentionally.
Stephens said that police have identified the vehicle’s occupants, and that they are 18 and 19 years old.
An investigation is ongoing.
