Lashea Bell, Aniah Bell Obituary, Death; – Police apprehended an 80-year-old woman in relation to a weekend accident that resulted in the deaths of two women from Wichita.

At around 9:35 p.m. on Saturday, officers were dispatched to a three-vehicle accident at the intersection of Central and Webb Road in Wichita, as reported by Officer Kris Gupilan. A black Chevrolet truck heading east on Central collided with a white BMW and a gray Jeep, both of which were traveling south on Webb.

Inside the BMW were Lashea Bell, 42, and her passenger Aniah Bell, 25, both residents of Wichita. Lashea Bell was declared dead at the scene, while Aniah Bell was taken to a nearby hospital, where she subsequently passed away, according to Gupilan.

The 41-year-old male driver of the Jeep received treatment at the scene and was released.

An officer remained with her, and after she was medically cleared, McLaughlin was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on charges that include two counts of second-degree homicide.
