WICHITA, Kansas — Wichita police are making a plea to anyone who may have information about a deadly accident on Kellogg that killed a five-year-old girl Saturday.

Police are still trying to piece together just what happened on Kellogg that left five-year-old Amber Randolph, a Clearwater kindergartner, dead.

Investigators say a pickup going westbound on Kellogg swerved to avoid another vehicle going the same way. Somehow that pickup crossed the median and struck a vehicle with a mother and five-year-old girl inside. Randolph was properly restrained and died at the scene.

Officers aren't sure how fast the pick-up was going or if the driver was possibly racing another vehicle at the time of the crash.

"Depending on the outcome of the investigation, exactly what happens, you know we don't know who would be charged, but potentially there could be other charges," said Capt. Max Tenbrook with the Wichita Police Department.

Officers are asking anyone who may have seen the crash to call police, 911, or Crime Stoppers at 267-2111.

Police believe Randolph's 37-year-old mother and the driver of the pickup truck have been released from the hospital. Officials are waiting to release the girl's name until school officials can inform their students and parents. They will release the information later this afternoon.
