A 34-year-old woman drove a pickup truck with two youngsters inside through a Kansas youth soccer game, killing two, including a 6-year-old boy and wounding 11 others, police said.
After hitting multiple people at the Stryker Sports Complex in Wichita, the driver — who is the mother of a kid playing at the facility — shouted “Oh my God, Oh my God, what have I done?!” as she was pulled from the vehcile by other parents, a reporter at a press conference recounted.
After the car mowed down the victims, civilians at the soccer game sprang into action and delivered “life-saving assistance” to the wounded until first responders arrived, Wichita Police Department Chief Joe Sullivan said.
“It was truly amazing, but I think it’s indicative of the Wichita community,” he said.
A 35-year-old man and a 6-year-old boy were pronounced dead at the scene of the 3:25 p.m. incident. They were not related to each other, Wichita Police Department Captain Aaron Moses told reporters Saturday night.
Five children aged five through nine were rushed to the hospital with traumatic injuries, Moses said.
