When they arrived, they found a car that had crashed into a parked vehicle and a man lying in the street. Tyrone Carter, 55, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said Carter was walking in the street when he was struck by a white Ford Focus, driven by a 21-year-old Wichita man. The driver then struck a parked car.

He was taken to the hospital in critical condition by emergency medical services. Police think alcohol and speed were factors in the crash.

The driver is under police watch and custody and will be booked into the Sedgwick County Jail once he has been released, according to the Wichita Police Department. Police said they will seek a charge of second-degree murder. But the case is still under investigation, and no charges have been filed.
