A 74-year-old Wichita woman has died after being involved in a two-vehicle accident Wednesday morning in south Wichita, Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Lt. Benjamin Blick said Thursday.

The wreck occurred around 8:45 a.m. in the intersection of 55th Street South and K-15 when Donnelle Sholtess failed to yield, Blick said. She was eastbound on 55th in a Dodge Caravan and was hit in the driver’s door by a 33-year-old Bel Aire man headed south on K-15 in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Sholtess was taken to a hospital, where she later died.

The man had minor injuries.
