SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a fatal weekend accident and have identified the victim as 33-year-old Steven Evans of Wichita, according to officer Kevin Wheeler.

Just before 3a.m. Saturday, officers responded to a single-vehicle injury accident in the 9600 block of West 37th Street in Wichita, according to Wheeler.

Upon arrival, officers located Evans, who was unresponsive, and a 29-year-old female who had serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Medical personnel arrived on scene and attempted life-saving measures on Evans, but were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The investigation revealed that a Nissan Altima was westbound on 37th Street when the driver lost control and struck multiple trees in the median.

EMS transported the 29-year-old woman to a local hospital. Wheeler had no update on her condition on Monday and did not release her name.
