2 killed after pickup truck plows through Wichita field during youth soccer game
The investigation remains open. In CBS Evening News' most-watched upload of the week, Ian Lee reports that the driver in the fatal Wichita soccer-field crash has been released pending toxicology results and a mechanical evaluation of the truck. No charges had been filed at the time of the report.
Lee stands near a makeshift memorial at Stryker Sports Complex. Witness David Griegspoor describes the sound of the truck and people screaming, while Mayor Lily Wu recalls families arriving simply to watch their children play soccer. The crash killed a man and a young boy. The report has drawn roughly 171,000 views and also carries the strongest daily momentum among the channel's listed uploads.
CBS posted 15 videos over the week. Another widely watched report, from Skyler Henry, covers the Mississippi attorney general's finding that an officer was justified in using deadly force during a shoplifting response in which a young child was shot. The October 18 full broadcast, covering economic pessimism and Trump's position on Russia and Ukraine, is also drawing viewers, followed in daily momentum by Caitlin Huey Burns' report on Kansas' Senate contest.
Across the channel, weekly views reached roughly 8.4 million, while subscribers were unchanged. Daily viewing is above its usual level, though the recent surge has eased. Elsewhere among similarly sized broadcasters, euronews and MIRROR NOW are also drawing above-usual daily audiences.
CBS' week's coverage also includes a different kind of border story: high school football players from Sunburst, Montana, and Milk River, Alberta, joining the same team, bringing two small-town communities together.
