More witnesses to a collision on Kellogg that killed a 5-year-old Clearwater girl Saturday afternoon have come forward, Wichita police said Wednesday.

Amber Randolph was killed just after 3:45 p.m. when the eastbound Toyota Camry her mother was driving was hit head-on by a pickup that swerved into the concrete median on westbound Kellogg between Seneca and Meridian, then flew over the barrier and into the eastbound lanes.

The 25-year-old driver was thrown out of the pickup. Both he and Amber's mother have been released from the hospital.

Police asked for the public's help in determining the circumstances of the crash. Officials have said evidence indicates another vehicle forced the red 1986 Chevy pickup to swerve off westbound Kellogg into the concrete median.

"We're going through a mountain of evidence right now, and a mountain of statements," said Lt. Joe Schroeder of the accident follow-up unit.

No arrests have been made in the case.

The funeral for Amber will be 10 a.m. Friday at First Baptist Church in Clearwater. She was a kindergartner at Clearwater West Elementary School.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, 1148 S. Hillside, Suite 11, Wichita, KS 67211.
