A routine Tuesday night at the Campus High School football fields turned into a frustrating mystery for one Haysville family after a vehicle was left heavily damaged in the parking lot while athletes were at practice.
Liz Greene shared that her husband was picking up their son from baseball practice on Tuesday, May 26, when he walked out to the parking lot and found the car in rough shape.
The incident happened sometime between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., during a busy window when baseball practice was taking place and soccer practice was also happening nearby.
Police were called to the scene, and officers said they would contact the school to review camera footage.
For now, the family is left waiting for answers, along with a repair bill that could end up being far more than a minor fix.
The damage looked serious enough to leave neighbors and other parents stunned. In the photo Greene shared, part of the vehicle’s front section appears torn away, with the bumper and wheel-well area badly affected.
Several people who saw the post immediately began trying to figure out what kind of impact could have caused it.
One person wrote, “Wow that sucks thats not parking lot speed did that! Thats 30-40 mph.”
Another disagreed, saying, “No its someone backing up and ripping the plastic bumper off.”
A third added, “Exactly what it looks like to me too, car in next spot pulled out while turning and snagged the front of the fender/wheel well and ripped it off.”
Whether the damage came from a backing accident, a turning vehicle or something else entirely, the biggest frustration for the family is that the driver apparently left without stopping.
That part of the story hit a nerve with other parents and community members, many of whom pointed out that accidents happen, but leaving the scene only makes things worse.
One commenter put it plainly: “Wish people still had manners. A respectful person would’ve done the right thing here and owned up to the wrong doing.”
Another added, “Probably knows the damage going to be too much doesn’t change the fact they hit your car and left.”
That is what makes the situation feel especially aggravating for families connected to school sports.
Practice nights usually bring the same routine, kids, coaches, gear bags, and parents picking up players at the end of the evening.
Instead, this one ended with a damaged vehicle, a police call, and a search for anyone who may have seen what happened.
A few people online also suggested the area may have been crowded enough that someone nearby saw the car involved or heard the impact.
With baseball and soccer both happening at the same time, there were likely multiple vehicles moving in and out of the lot during the same stretch.
That may help if school cameras captured the right angle or if another parent remembers a suspicious vehicle leaving quickly.
Greene’s post has already spread through the Haysville community, drawing sympathy, frustration and speculation. Some commenters offered repair advice, while others simply reacted to the damage and the fact that someone drove away.
One local wrote, “Haysville doing haysville things,” while another said, “Those kind of people usually don’t have insurance.”
For the family, though, the bigger concern is finding out who was responsible and whether the cameras caught enough to identify the vehicle.
Until then, the car remains a reminder that even an ordinary sports night can turn into a stressful one in a matter of minutes.
A son was at practice, parents were doing pickup duty, multiple teams were on the fields, then the family came back to a vehicle that had been left badly damaged and an apparent hit-and-run that still needs answers.
