A vehicle struck spectators at a youth soccer game in Kansas on Saturday, killing a 35-year-old man and a 7-year-old boy and injuring 11 others, Fox News reported.

The crash happened as the vehicle crossed into an area where people had gathered to watch the game, according to Fox News. Authorities had not released the identity of the driver or said whether charges would be filed.

People at the game helped the injured before paramedics and police arrived, Fox News reported. The report did not identify which agencies responded.

Investigators had not determined why the vehicle struck the crowd, according to Fox News. No additional details on the driver, the exact location or the ages and conditions of the 11 injured people were available as of Saturday’s report.

The crash drew attention from national news outlets covering the Saturday broadcast. Fox News said police continued to investigate the circumstances of the crash. Updates on the investigation, including any charges against the driver, are expected from local law enforcement in the coming days.
