Napping driver whose truck accelerated on Kansas soccer field, killing 2, won't be charged

Authorities have decided not to file charges against a woman who drove a pickup truck onto a Kansas soccer field during a youth game.

“I cannot prove she consciously disregarded a tremendous risk to people on that field,” Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett said Thursday.

He acknowledged the public might find his decision strange. Bennett’s 28-page report listed possible crimes that might be triggered when a person causes the death of another person but said none fit the soccer field tragedy under Kansas law.

“If I could charge somebody, why wouldn’t I?” Bennett said at a news conference. “But I also have an obligation to stand up and say, ‘It’s not here.’”
