Two killed, including 6-year-old, when truck drives through Kansas youth soccer game, police say

The injuries ranged from minor to severe, but none appear to be life threatening, Wichita police Captain Aaron Moses ​said at a news conference. The two people killed were ​pronounced dead at the scene, he said.

Moses said a 34-year-old ⁠woman was driving the truck, which ended up in a field ​at the west end of the Stryker Sports Complex. She has ​been cooperating with investigators, he said, but when asked whether she had been arrested, he said only that she was in custody.

"We know what happened, but now ​we're working very hard to find out why it happened, and ​we're not there yet," Wichita police Chief Joe Sullivan said.

The injured include two youths ‌aged ⁠5, two aged 8, a 9-year-old and five adults, police said. In addition to those 10 people, one adult was hospitalized for non-traumatic medical issues.

The driver had a child playing soccer at the complex, but ​not on the ​field where ⁠the incident took place, Moses said. The truck involved had two juveniles as passengers, he said.

Emergency dispatchers started ​getting calls about the incident at 3:25 p.m. ​local time (2025 ⁠GMT), Moses said.

"Today is a heartbreaking day for Wichita," Mayor Lily Wu said. "Families came to Stryker Sports Complex to enjoy a Saturday afternoon, watching ⁠their ​children play soccer and no one could ​have imagined the tragedy that would unfold."
