Truck crashes into Kansas football stadium, killing 2 and injuring 10; 34-year-old driver detained

(Central News Agency, Washington, 17th, comprehensive foreign news report) US police said today that a truck crashed into a youth football game in Wichita, Kansas, killing a 6-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man, and sending 10 other people to the hospital for serious trauma.

Reuters reported that Wichita Police Captain Aaron Moses said at a press conference that the injuries ranged from minor to serious, but none of them appear to be life-threatening at this time. He said the two victims were pronounced dead at the scene.

Moses said the truck was driven by a 34-year-old woman and ended up parked in a vacant lot at the west end of the Stryker Sports Complex. He said the woman has been cooperating with investigators. However, when asked if she had been arrested, Moses said only that she was currently in detention.

Wichita Police Chief Joe Sullivan said: "We have clarified what happened, but we are currently fully investigating the cause of the crime, and we don't have answers yet."

Police said the injured included two 5-year-old children, two 8-year-old children, a 9-year-old child and five adults. In addition to those 10 people, one adult was hospitalized for a non-traumatic health issue.

Moses said that a child of the driver who was involved in the accident was also playing football in the park, but was not on the field where the incident occurred. He also said there were two minor passengers in the truck involved.
