A driver whose truck rolled onto a soccer field in Wichita, Kansas, killing two people, will not face criminal charges, Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett announced Thursday.

The October 17 incident occurred at Stryker Sports Complex while the driver was waiting for her children's soccer games.

Investigators determined that the driver had fallen asleep and inadvertently left the truck in drive, causing it to cross a seven-inch curb and enter the field. Toxicology tests found no impairment, while vehicle inspections revealed no mechanical failures.

Prosecutors concluded there was insufficient evidence of intentional or reckless conduct to meet the threshold for criminal charges under Kansas law.

The case will instead proceed under civil negligence standards. The victims were six-year-old Cole Adrian and 35-year-old Nicholas Schafer, both from McPherson, Kansas.
