Wichita police are investigating a traffic accident that left one person dead and another in critical condition.

The accident was reported around 1 p.m. at Central and Socora, near Bishop Carroll High School.   Two vehicles collided at the intersection.

Three teenagers were in one of the vehicles and a passenger, a 17-year-old student from Northwest High School, was killed.  His name was not released.   The 16-year-old boy who was driving the car had serious injuries, along with a 16-year-old girl who was in the back seat.   The 85-year-old driver of the other vehicle had minor injuries.

Police were urging motorists to avoid Central between Ridge Road and Tyler Road, and that street was expected to be closed for several hours.
