WICHITA, Kan. — A scene of athletic competition turned into a chaotic emergency response Saturday afternoon as Wichita police and EMS personnel swarmed the Stryker Sports Complex following a mass casualty incident involving a vehicle.
Wichita police confirmed that they are actively investigating the situation, which occurred on the youth soccer fields at the complex located near 29th and Greenwich. In a statement released shortly after the incident, authorities assured the public that there is “no further ongoing threat at this time,” though the investigation remains in its early, critical stages.
Witnesses on the ground described a harrowing sequence of events. According to one account provided to 12 News, a black pickup truck drove onto the fields, plowing through the area where youth soccer games were taking place. The vehicle reportedly struck multiple people before finally coming to a stop 100 to 200 yards from where it entered the playing area.
“Dozens of emergency responders [are] on scene giving CPR and rendering aid to victims,” the witness reported.
The full extent of the injuries remains unknown at this time. Emergency crews are currently working to stabilize those hurt, and transport protocols to local hospitals are underway. Officials have not yet released the number of people injured or their current medical conditions, as the focus remains on life-saving efforts and securing the scene.
The Wichita Police Department has urged the public and motorists to steer clear of the area surrounding 29th and Greenwich. Roadblocks have been established to allow emergency vehicles unimpeded access to the facility and to maintain the integrity of the scene for investigators.
The Stryker Sports Complex, a prominent facility in the Wichita area, is frequently used for youth sporting events, and the incident occurred during what is typically a busy Saturday schedule. The sudden nature of the tragedy has sent shockwaves through the local community.
12 News has dispatched a crew to the scene to provide real-time updates as information becomes available. Police have promised to hold a press briefing once they have gathered more concrete details regarding the circumstances of the crash and the status of the victims.
This is a developing story. As the investigation progresses, authorities are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who has relevant information to cooperate with officers on-site. Further updates regarding the identities of those involved or the nature of the investigation will be provided as soon as they are made public by the Wichita Police Department.
