Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett said Thursday he will not file criminal charges against a 34-year-old Garden City woman whose pickup truck left a parking stall and entered a youth soccer field at Wichita's Stryker Sports Complex on Oct. 17^1,2,3.

Cole Adrian, 6, and Nicholas Schafer, 35, both of McPherson, Kansas, were killed, and 10 other people were injured, local stations reported^1,2,3,4.

Bennett told reporters, "This is not a crime, and I cannot charge this driver with a crime"^1,2.

Wichita Police Chief Joe Sullivan said the driver told her children she was going to nap and reclined the seat; after she fell asleep, a child put up a sunshade^2,4,5.

Police identified the driver as a 34-year-old Garden City woman and have not released her name^3,4,5. Sullivan said she cooperated and that a blood sample found no impairing substances^2,4,5. Bennett said a medical emergency had no role and that there was no evidence of impairment^1,2. An inspection found no mechanical issues or recalls, KWCH and NBC News reported^2,4.

Officials said she was driving her husband's truck, which she did not normally drive, after traveling from Garden City for her children's games^2,3,4. KMUW said investigators concluded she likely fell asleep without putting the truck in park, though she thought she had³. NBC News said Bennett treated a missed park plus later acceleration while asleep as one scenario, and an inadvertent shift from park while sleeping as possible but unlikely⁴. KCTV said investigators do not know how the truck was put into drive and believe it was either the woman or a child⁵.

KMUW said surveillance video showed the truck stationary for 46 minutes before it accelerated onto the field³. KWCH said Bennett ruled out medical emergency, impairment, mechanical malfunction and an intentional act, and did not reach a conclusion on the remaining gear scenarios².

Bennett said he found no facts showing an intentional, knowing or reckless act as Kansas defines those terms^1,4. KWCH said he told reporters Kansas has no negligent homicide offense and that vehicular homicide did not fit, describing any remaining dispute as a civil negligence matter^2,3.

Asked whether new evidence could produce charges, Bennett said, "I think we're done here," citing more than 100 interviews and a review of camera and phone footage³.

What remains unknown includes the driver's name, the exact sequence that put the truck in motion, and whether civil claims will be filed^4,5.
