Wichita, Kansas soccer mom accidental mishap inside pick-up truck?
Stated the account in part on True Crime Mama:
‘A person who contacted me about the tragedy at Wichita’s Stryker Soccer Complex asked to remain anonymous.
‘I am sharing because this account seems to line up with the facts we do know – the driver was released without being charged and mechanical testing of the truck is being performed.
‘According to that account, a mother had been feeding a young child inside the parked truck before falling asleep. Another child was reportedly awake and playing inside the vehicle, which was running with the heater on.
‘The source claims the other child accidentally shifted the truck into drive, causing it to roll forward and strike a curb. They said the movement startled the mother awake, and she pressed the accelerator while believing she was pressing the brake.
‘The source also described a windshield sunshade that had been positioned to shield the baby from the sun. According to the account, it obstructed the mother’s view, and she believed another vehicle had struck the truck. The source claims she continued pressing the accelerator, thinking she was trying to stop.’
To date, officials have not commented on whether they believe the incident was accidental, deliberate or the result of mechanical failure. Nevertheless followers of the popular Facebook blog, with 879K followers continued to pile on and speculate.
