WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office says a 4-year-old girl involved in a fiery car crash Sunday in the 20000 block of W. MacArthur has died. The driver of the vehicle was identified as 32-year-old Britne Costello from Douglass.
According to the SCSO, at 5:16 p.m., Costello was headed westbound on MacArthur with her two children, a 4-year-old girl and a 2-year-old boy. As she was passing another vehicle, she overcorrected and left the roadway, causing the vehicle to roll and catch fire.
“Through the heroic actions of our sheriff’s deputy and several citizens, all three occupants were extricated from the burning vehicle,” the SCSO said.
Costello and her son were taken to a local hospital in serious condition. Her daughter was taken in critical condition. According to the SCSO, Costello’s daughter later died at the hospital.
