威奇托体育综合设施发生涉及车辆的事件,一名儿童和一名成年人死亡

我们报道的内容

  • KWCH 标注的更新称,警方确认一名儿童和一名成年人死亡,另有多名伤者被送往医院。

现在

警方确认,6岁的科尔·阿德里安和35岁的尼古拉斯·谢弗遇难。另有10人受伤;毒理检测和车辆检查结果仍未出炉。

威奇托足球场事故调查已超出紧急处置阶段,但尚未查明原因。10月17日,驾驶皮卡车在斯特赖克体育综合体撞死一名儿童和一名成年人的女子已获释,未被起诉。警方正在等待毒理检测结果和卡车机械检查结果。调查人员已确认,卡车从停车位驶上了有人在场的球场,但尚未查明原因。37 41

警方确认,遇难者是6岁的科尔·阿德里安和35岁的尼古拉斯·谢弗。两人都来自堪萨斯州麦克弗森,并在现场死亡。他们彼此没有亲属关系。另有10人受伤,其中包括5名儿童。36 41

10月17日,HeyDay News报道这起死亡事件时,我们的报道尚未确认死者姓名、幸存患者人数及其状况,也未确认司机是否被警方拘留。警方周日的更新补上了这些信息。死亡人数没有增加;变化在于患者情况得到更清楚的统计,遇难者身份得到确认,并确认司机接受问询后获释。

关键事实

  1. 2在现场遇难的人数 3641
  2. 10受伤幸存者,其中包括5名儿童 3641
  3. 11被送往医院的人数 41

事故发生在威奇托东北部综合体内的一场青少年足球活动期间,地点靠近北格林威治路与东29街。据KWCH报道的警方通报,塞奇威克县911于周六下午约3:25开始接到多通来电。这是紧急呼叫的大致时间,并非另行确认的撞击发生时刻。我们首篇报道中提到的后续警方通报时间,并不是卡车驶入球场的时间。7 10

警方的初步调查发现,皮卡车此前停在球场附近,之后驶上其中一块球场,撞到儿童和成年人。司机是一名来自加登城的34岁女子,她留在现场并配合调查。她的两个孩子当时在卡车内,并接受了问询;另一个孩子则在综合体内另一块球场踢足球。警方称,她持有有效驾照,也没有未执行的逮捕令。这些情况都不能解释卡车为何移动。41 1 7

医院收治人数为何不同

区分受伤人数和送医人数,就能解释为何早期报道中的11名伤者变为警方周日通报中的10人。共有10人因事故受伤而住院。另有一名61岁女子出现与创伤性损伤无关的医疗并发症,也被送往医院。因此,送医人数为11人,另有两名在现场死亡者单独计算。这并不意味着有一名伤者从统计中消失,也不意味着有人在报道发布期间康复。41

《卫报》10月18日早些时候的报道说有11人受伤,司机被拘留。ABC新闻10月18日晚间播出的报道于UTC时间10月19日发布,称有10人受伤,司机未被起诉并已获释。这些报道反映的是同一项调查的不同阶段,并非相互矛盾的最新说法。《卫报》之后更新了文章,报道司机获释,并区分了10名伤者与另外一名因医疗问题送医的患者。7 2

受伤儿童分别是一名5岁女孩、一名5岁男孩、两名8岁男孩和一名9岁女孩。5名受伤成年人年龄分别为28岁、32岁、59岁、65岁和68岁。患者被送往阿森松维亚克里斯蒂医院和卫斯理医疗中心。KWCH和《卫报》对成年患者年龄的报道一致,但对59岁和65岁的患者是男性还是女性说法不同;这一细节仍未查明。36 7

对伤势严重程度的描述也需要谨慎处理。最初的紧急情况通报称,伤势从淤青到极其严重不等,初步判断为没有生命危险。警方周日的更新称,伤者情况均不危急;而KWCH另行报道司机获释时,则称伤势严重。这些说法并不意味着伤势轻微。目前尚无逐一说明患者康复情况或出院人数的确切信息。1 36 37

司机获释,事故原因仍未查明

事故发生后,警方将司机带走接受问询。调查人员采访了30多名目击者,并征询塞奇威克县地方检察官办公室的意见后,决定将她释放。KWCH刊载的警方声明称,她“随后获释,等待毒理检测和车辆机械检查结果”。该次通报时尚未提出任何指控。36 37

获释并不意味着她已被证明无罪,也不代表警方认定事故是意外。同样,安排毒理检测不等于有证据表明她受到了酒精或药物影响,检查皮卡车也不能证明发生了机械故障。尚待完成的检查或许有助于解释事故经过,但仅凭这些检查的存在还不能得出答案。警方尚未确定司机是否蓄意行事。37 1

关于车辆从停车位驶上球场的新信息,回答了我们首篇报道中车辆行驶情况尚未明确的部分问题。但这并不能独立证实KWCH报道的早前目击者估计:黑色皮卡车在球场沿线继续行驶了100–200码后停下。这个距离仍是目击者的描述,并非经过测量的还原结果,也不是车速方面的证据。警方早前评估称没有持续存在的进一步威胁,这同样不代表调查已经结束。41 10

调查人员仍在征集照片和视频,包括目击者可能认为无关紧要的材料。警方在KWCH报道的征集启事中说:“无论您认为自己的影像资料有多重要,我们都鼓励您提交。哪怕最微小的细节也可能对调查人员有所帮助。”这一呼吁很重要,因为目前已知的起点——一辆停着的卡车——和结果——一群儿童及成年人在球场上被撞——之间,仍缺少一个已查明的解释。10

足球场关闭,影响延伸至场外

斯特赖克体育综合体的所有活动均取消,直到另行通知。堪萨斯州高中体育活动协会还暂停了原定于周六在那里举行的橄榄球锦标赛季军赛和冠军赛。协会计划于10月19日星期一公布改期安排;目前发布的更新中尚未确定补赛日期。41 7

警察局长乔·沙利文在周日的声明中直言这场悲剧带来的损失:“本该是孩子们踢足球、家人共度时光的一天,却以悲剧告终。”他说,调查人员将继续努力查明事故的确切经过。41

当地心理健康机构鼓励受影响的家庭、目击者和急救人员通过塞奇威克县COMCARE寻求支持。需要情绪支持的人也可以拨打或发送短信至988,与受过培训的危机辅导员联系。对于科尔·阿德里安和尼古拉斯·谢弗的家人,以及5名受伤儿童和5名受伤成年人来说,这场紧急事故造成的影响远不止球场关闭。后续调查结果必须解释卡车为何移动,并为是否提出指控提供依据;司机获释本身既不能解释事故,也不能决定是否起诉。41 37

播出原貌 14 行
  1. Police released the driver whose pickup killed a child and an adult at a soccer game. On October 17, we reported those deaths and additional hospitalizations. Police now identify both victims and count ten injured survivors, including five children. Investigators still have to explain why the truck entered the field and whether charges will follow.
  2. Six-year-old Cole Adrian and 35-year-old Nicholas Schafer died at the scene. Both were from McPherson, Kansas, and they weren't related. The death toll remains two. Police have now filled in the surviving patients' numbers and the driver's custody status.
  3. Stryker Sports Complex sits in northeast Wichita, near North Greenwich Road and East 29th Street. The victims came from McPherson. The 34-year-old woman driving the pickup came from Garden City. Families were at the complex for youth soccer.
  4. Police say the pickup had been parked in a space near the fields before it drove onto a field and struck children and adults. Sedgwick County 911 began receiving calls around 3:25 Saturday afternoon. That gives the emergency-response timeline; police haven't pinpointed the exact moment of impact.
  5. Ten people suffered injuries in the crash. Eleven people went to hospitals because a 61-year-old woman also needed care for a separate medical problem. That accounts for the different totals. The two people who died at the scene are counted separately.
  6. Five of the injured were children. They included a five-year-old girl and a five-year-old boy. Two eight-year-old boys and a nine-year-old girl were also hurt. The detailed patient accounting separates those crash injuries from the additional woman's medical complications. It explains why the injury total is now ten.
  7. The five injured adults were 28, 32, 59, 65 and 68 years old. The injured patients went to Ascension Via Christi and Wesley Medical Center. Across the ten injured survivors, ages ranged from five to 68.
  8. Some injuries were severe. Emergency officials initially described a range from bruises to extremely severe injuries, while saying they believed the injuries weren't life-threatening. Police's Sunday update described the patients as noncritical. Those descriptions still include people who suffered serious injuries. Police haven't given individual recovery updates.
  9. Investigators conducted more than 30 witness interviews and consulted the Sedgwick County district attorney's office before releasing the driver. Police say they're waiting for toxicology results and a mechanical examination of the pickup. Any decision about charges will follow the continuing investigation.
  10. The driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with police. Two of her children were inside the pickup, and investigators interviewed both. Another of her children was playing soccer on a different field at the complex. Police say she had a valid driver's license and no outstanding warrants.
  11. Police took the woman into custody for questioning after the crash and later released her without charges. Earlier descriptions of her remaining in custody have been overtaken by that release. The updated ten-injury total also separates out the additional medical patient.
  12. All events at Stryker were cancelled until further notice. The Kansas State High School Activities Association suspended its third-place and championship flag football games scheduled there for Saturday. It planned to give rescheduling details Monday, October 19. The closure extends the disruption beyond the soccer game where people were struck.
  13. Police are seeking photographs and video, including footage people might consider insignificant. They know the truck moved from a parking space onto an occupied field. They still haven't explained why it moved, or determined whether the driver acted intentionally.
  14. Families, witnesses and first responders can get mental health support through Sedgwick County COMCARE. Anyone needing emotional support can also call or text 988 to reach a trained crisis counselor. Investigators are still awaiting the toxicology results and the truck's mechanical examination.
