3 dead after driver plows into Oklahoma State homecoming parade

A woman police said was driving drunk crashed into the Oklahoma State Homecoming parade Saturday morning, killing three bystanders, critically injuring eight more and leaving more than a dozen others with lesser injuries.
The driver, Adacia Chambers, 25, was arrested and jailed on suspicion of driving under the influence, Stillwater Police Capt. Kyle Gibbs said. Police didn’t immediately release any details about the three killed in the crash, which happened around 10:30 a.m. ET. University officials said the homecoming game would still be played.
Paramedics and firefighters participating in the parade were able to assist the injured immediately, authorities said. “Tragically we lost three. I hope we don’t lose any more,” the university's president, Burns Hargis, said in an afternoon press conference. “The Cowboy family pulls together. Unfortunately, we’ve had to do it before, and we're going do it again.”
