WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) - Wichita police have arrested a 41-year-old woman in connection to a crash that killed a 71-year-old Andover man on Tuesday.

Sedgwick County Jail records show Valerie Palace, of Wichita, was booked early Wednesday morning for involuntary manslaughter in the death of Billy Wineinger. 

Officers responded just after 10 p.m. to a collision involving a vehicle and a pedestrian at 13th Street North and Greenwich. Wichita police spokesperson Kristopher Gupilan said Wineinger had been involved in a crash with an SUV at the intersection and exited his vehicle to inspect the damage. 

That's when an eastbound Toyota 4Runner entered the intersection and struck Wineinger's vehicle, causing it to hit him. Wineinger was killed.

"It is important to note that the investigation is still in progress, and the WPD is committed to a thorough examination of all aspects of this incident," Officer Gupilan said. "Alcohol is believed to be a factor in this fatal collision."

Wineinger's death was Wichita's 28th traffic fatality of 2023.
