^ Adacia Chambers, 25, faces second-degree murder charges after authorities said she plowed a car into the crowd at an Oklahoma State University homecoming parade on Saturday, killing four people, including a toddler.
Chambers, a resident of the college town, was arrested after the Saturday crash on a driving while under the influence charge, and Stillwater police said Sunday she was being held on four additional counts of second-degree murder.
Chambers' attorney Tony Coleman said that his client may suffer from a mental illness. He also said she did not smell of alcohol when he met her hours after the crash. Police are awaiting blood tests to determine if she was impaired by drugs or alcohol.
Witnesses of the crash described a scene of chaos as bodies flew into the air from the impact and landed on the road. Three adults and a 2-year-old boy, who wasn't immediately identified, were killed and at least 46 others were hurt, including at least four critically injured. Hospitals initially said five were critically injured, but one of those was upgraded to fair condition on Sunday.
Chambers told police she was suicidal at the time of the crash. The prosecutor argued in court today that she "intentionally drove her car into a crowd."
The prosecutor said Chambers was a "flight risk" because she faces the possibility of four life terms; she is being held on $1 million bond.
Very sad for the victims and their families.
