Two people, a six-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man, died on Saturday after a truck drove through a youth soccer game in north-east Wichita, Kansas, according to authorities. Eleven other individuals, aged between five and 68, were injured in the incident.
Wichita police have taken a 34-year-old woman from Garden City, Kansas, into custody in connection with the case. Police Captain Aaron Moses told news media that two juveniles were inside the truck with the driver when officers arrived.
The boy and man who died were both from McPherson, Kansas, and were not related, police said. Ten of those injured sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries, including children aged five, eight, and nine, as well as adults between 28 and 68 years old. An eleventh person, a 61-year-old woman, had non-traumatic medical issues.
All events at Stryker Sports Complex have been cancelled until further notice. The Kansas State High School Activities Association also suspended flag football games scheduled for Saturday at the complex, with details about rescheduled games expected on Monday.
