A 16-year-old boy was killed in a single-car crash on Tuesday night near the intersection of East 39th Street South and South Rock Road, according to Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office Lieutenant Matthew Lynch. The vehicle was found in a heavily wooded area on the east side of South Rock Road after first responders received a call around 11:45 p.m. from the teen's family.
The teenager was pronounced dead at the scene, and an investigation is ongoing to determine what caused him to leave the roadway.
