Four killed, including 2yo child, as car slams into parade crowds

A two-year-old boy is among four people killed after a woman drove into a crowd during a homecoming parade at Oklahoma State University. Witnesses described how bodies were thrown dozens of feet into the air when the Hyundai Elantra slammed into the crowd in Stillwater, near Oklahoma City. The vehicle crashed through barricades and struck an unmanned police motorcycle before ploughing into spectators. Adacia Avery Chambers, 25, (pictured) has been taken into custody on suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol.

I can’t figure this out. This is not the person that’s my daughter.

Witnesses described the car barreling into the crowds, flinging victims into the air “like rag dolls”. Police say 44 people were injured in the crash. Representatives for OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City said the hospital treated eight victims from the crash, five of them children. One of those patients, a two-year-old boy, later died

At first we thought it was part of the show. People were flying 30ft into the air like rag dolls.
