Car crash into Oklahoma State homecoming parade kills 3

A woman has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after police say she crashed her car into an Oklahoma State University homecoming parade Saturday, the Stillwater News Press reports. Three people were killed and at least two dozen were injured in the crash where Adacia Avery Chambers, a 25-year-old from Stillwater, Oklahoma, was identified by police as the driver.

"At first we thought it was part of the show," witness Konda Walker told the News Press. "People were flying 30 feet into the air like rag dolls."

OSU officials said the school would still play its scheduled football game against Kansas and that the victims would be honored, KOCO-TV reports. Eight of the victims are reportedly hospitalized with critical injuries. Julie Kliegman
