Witnesses recalled the haunting words a Kansas mother shouted seconds after barrelling her pickup truck through a youth soccer field, killing a 6-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man while injuring 10 others.
On October 17, families had gathered at Wichita’s Stryker Sports Complex for an afternoon of youth soccer, including Erica Case, who was following her 9-year-old son’s game on a neighboring field when the sound of a revving engine cut through the afternoon.
Case turned toward the commotion and saw a pickup truck speeding across the complex.
“I saw the truck hitting things. I saw debris flying in the air,” Case 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.”
Nearby, David Griekspoor, who had come to watch his nephew play, also witnessed the crash.
