A Kansas woman who was watching her son play soccer on Saturday has spoken out about the terror she witnessed when a pickup truck plowed through an adjacent field.  

Erica Case was at her nine-year-old son’s youth soccer game at Stryker Sports Complex in Wichita just before 3pm on Saturday when an unidentified 34-year-old driver crashed into one of the fields killing two people and leaving 10 others injured.

It was halftime at her son’s soccer game when Case said she first heard an engine revving, followed by several ‘boom’ sounds.

‘I saw the truck hitting things. I saw debris flying in the air,’ she told NBC News. ‘I don’t know if it was a cone, a chair or a person, but you could see matter flying as the truck was barreling through the soccer field at a decent rate of speed.’ 

The sound will now continue to haunt her, she said.

‘The moment that I realized that it wasn’t gunshots, that that was bodies, I lost it,’ Case recounted. ‘I lost it because it wasn’t just adults, it was also children.’

Six-year-old Cole Adrian died in the tragedy alongside 35-year-old Nicholas Schafer. Ten others, including five children, were rushed to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

An unidentified 34-year-old woman crashed her pickup truck into a soccer field in Wichita, Kansas on Saturday, killing two people and leaving 10 others injured

In the moments following the deadly crash, Case recounted how a mother of another boy started shouting she was a nurse and she needed to get to the victims.

Wanting to help, Case told the woman she would watch her boy and then took the woman’s son to safety amid the chaos. 

It took about 10 minutes for emergency services to arrive on scene, Case said, but people good Samaritans raced to help the victims in the meantime.

‘There are a lot of silent heroes that I know experienced much worse that I did, having to do mouth-to-mouth or CPR on somebody that’d been ran over by a truck.’

David Griekspoor further told how he was at the city-run sports complex with his nephew, another soccer player, when he witnessed the crash.

‘It sounded like small gunfire – bap, bap, bap,’ he recounted.

At first, Griekspoor said, it wasn’t clear what was making the sound until he noticed the truck.

‘You look up, and you just see the truck going through a line of people,’ he recounted, telling how his brother and sister-in-law went to check on the children nearby as he grabbed his nephew and ‘backed out of there.’

Nicholas Schafer, 35, was also killed in the horrific crash. His family has declined to speak to the media at this time

Another mother, Vanessa Trammell, who was at the complex watching her 13-year-old son’s game, said she saw the truck drive across the neighboring field near the sidelines, striking several people.

‘It was pure panic,’ she told CNN of the chaos that ensued. ‘I didn’t know what was going on – just that people were being hit.

‘I’m pretty sure I probably screamed, but absolutely, just pure panic was going through me.’ 

She also noted that her son’s coach was one of the people that ran to help the victims, and a youth soccer player only identified as Isaac said his father was one of the people who rushed to remove the driver from the vehicle.

‘My dad went to the truck [and] took the person out of the truck so that they don’t hit any more people,’ he told KWCH.  

‘I’m shocked that he did that ’cause if he didn’t do that, maybe the car wouldn’t have stopped and more people could’ve got hit,’ the boy added.

The driver, only identified as a 34-year-old mother from Garden City, was released without charges on Sunday afternoon pending a toxicology test and a mechanical examination of the vehicle

The driver, only identified as a 34-year-old mother from Garden City, was released without charges on Sunday afternoon pending a toxicology test and a mechanical examination of the vehicle, according to Wichita Police. 

Investigators have yet to elaborate further on why the woman was released and they have not commented further on whether they believe she was intoxicated, if she may have suffered a medical episode, or if there was a problem with the car she was driving.

Investigators also do not know how fast the truck was going or how it managed to get on to the field, Police Captain Aaron Moses said.

But a witness told local television station 12 News that the ‘black pickup truck came plowing through the youth soccer fields hitting multiple people before stopping 100-200 yards down the fields.’

The driver had originally been parked in a space near the soccer fields before her vehicle drove onto the field at approximately 3.25pm, police said. 

Two of the driver’s children had been in the back of her truck at the time of the incident, police said. She also had a third child who had been playing in a game on a different field at the complex.

Witnesses claim the driver shouted, ‘Oh my God, oh my God, what have I done?’ when she was pulled from the vehicle by bystanders at the event, according to the New York Post. 

The driver remained at the scene and was subsequently taken into custody.

Investigators have since interviewed more than 30 witnesses, including the two children that were in the vehicle at the time of the crash, and have questioned the driver. 

They are now asking anyone with video footage of the incident to share it with them.

A makeshift memorial was created with balloons, signs and stuffed animals near the crash site 

In a statement on Sunday, Wichita Police Chief Joe Sullivan shared his condolences with the victims’ families.

‘Our hearts are with the families of Adrian and Nicholas as they face an unimaginable loss. What should have been a day of children playing soccer and families spending time together ended in tragedy,’ Sullivan said. 

‘We are also thinking about those who were injured, their loved ones and everyone who witnessed what happened. We know this tragedy has affected many people throughout our community, and we want those families to know they are not alone.’

Sullivan added: ‘Our officers and investigators will continue working to understand exactly what happened.’ 

Wichita Mayor Lily Wu also said she’s ‘heartbroken’ and advised people to avoid the area, adding: ‘My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected, especially the children and families involved.’

President Donald Trump even commented on the tragedy Monday night during a campaign rally in nearby Park City.

‘To all victims and their families: May God be with you,’ he said. ‘And we want to get to the bottom of what happened.’ 

The tragedy unfolded at a venue popular with young soccer players and their families, turning what should have been an ordinary Saturday afternoon of sport into an emergency.

The Kansas State High School Activities Association said play has been suspended for the flag football state championship following the deadly accident.
