One of her children was reportedly sitting in the back of the vehicle when it struck people on the sports field, while her other child had been taking part in a match on a separate pitch.
The woman was initially taken into custody after remaining at the scene, before police confirmed she was released on Sunday afternoon while investigators await toxicology results and arrange a mechanical examination of the vehicle. “No charges have been filed at this time, and investigators continue working to determine the circumstances that led to the crash,” authorities claimed, with police yet to establish whether the incident was deliberate or accidental. The collision left multiple people injured, with at least 10 requiring medical attention, with those hurt including three young children, a five-year-old girl, a five-year-old boy and a nine-year-old girl.
