Car crashes football match in Kansas and kills two people, including a child, police say

A woman was arrested after her vehicle invaded a football match in Wichita, Kansas, in the United States, and killed two people, including a six-year-old child, in addition to leaving several injured, police reported this Saturday (17).

"It's a tragedy," Wichita Police Capt. Aaron Moses said in an interview with reporters.

The dead included a six-year-old child and a 35-year-old adult, Moses said. According to police, 11 injured people were taken to hospitals, including 4 minors.

Emergency services began receiving calls about the incident at 3:25 pm local time (8:25 pm Brasilia), according to Moses. The case occurred at the Stryker Sports Complex.

The vehicle involved was carrying two children as passengers, Moses said. He did not identify the 34-year-old driver or say whether criminal charges would be filed.

According to local press, the woman had a son playing there, but not on the field where the deaths occurred.

Jacob Albracht, 41, said he was in the parking lot when he heard some banging and screaming. He initially thought there was a shooter on the field and ran back to find his daughter, who was playing at the time.

Albracht said he saw injured people lying in the field and others running to try to provide first aid. "It was absolutely horrible. It's really alarming how so many lives can turn upside down so quickly these days," he said.
