Wichita mother avoids charges after SUV kills two at youth football match
A mother will not face criminal charges after her SUV struck a crowd at a youth soccer game in Wichita, killing a six-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man and injuring ten others. The district attorney said investigators found no evidence of intoxication or intentional wrongdoing, and believe she was asleep when the vehicle moved.
The 34-year-old had driven about 200 miles to the sports complex in a recently acquired SUV and later returned to park near a field. She told her children she was tired and went to sleep; investigators believe she may have accidentally released the brake and pressed the accelerator. The crash happened on 17 October, and those injured ranged in age from five to 68.
In short
- No charges will be brought against the driver.
- Two people died and ten were injured.
- Investigators believe she was asleep when the SUV moved.
