3 killed when driver plows into Okla. State parade

Police said a drunk driver plowed into the Oklahoma State Homecoming parade Saturday, killing three bystanders.

The driver, Adacia Chambers, 25, was arrested and jailed on suspicion of driving under the influence, Stillwater Police Capt. Kyle Gibbs said. Other injured people were taken to Stillwater Medical Center for treatment. Police didn’t immediately release any details about the three dead, and university officials said the homecoming game would still be played.

“Tragically we lost three. Hopefully we don’t lose any more,” said OSU President Burns Hargis in an afternoon press conference. “The Cowboy family is pulling together. Unfortunately we’ve had to do it before, and we’ll do it again.”

Gibbs declined to discuss the evidence against Chambers, and asked that any witnesses with photos and videos to contact investigators.
“We are heartbroken at this tragedy," Stillwater Mayor Gina Noble said.

The car was not part of the parade, according to police. Photographs posted by witnesses showed a silver four-door sedan crashed into a curb, surrounded by police tape.

Witness Dave Kapple told the Stillwater News Press that “people were flying everywhere” after the vehicle barreled into the crowd. The accident occurred by the intersection of Hall of Fame and Main Street.

Oklahoma State's homecoming famously attracts huge crowds to Stillwater each year. This year, the undefeated Cowboys are scheduled to play winless Kansas at 3:30 p.m. ET on FS1.

Doing nothing is not acceptable!

Only a severely retarded person would compare this incident to blowing away 20 people with a gun.

Scary whet right wing mentality is......really scary.

This from a broke loser who spends his entire day here shilling for politicians who should be in Leavenworth and bragging how great his fictional life is to complete strangers.

"We have to do something! I don't know what exactly, but doing nothing is not acceptable!"

Now THERE'S that ultra-reactionary left wing logic we're all familiar with!

Loser!@#0

Youre on multiple websites all day for a decade spewing looney lies. That's who you have always been. You're actually a scary person. Just knowing a freak like you exists should make everyone uneasy.

Obama was born in Kenya. Hillary will be in prison. Fred Thompson will be president. Lmao. You are ALWAYS wrong.

You should run on that platform.

Oh wait, your pathetic constitutionally illiterate party already does!

Why? Someone not in a right frame of mind used an inanimate object to kill and maim numerous people. If the inanimate object is a gun, people want drastic reductions in freedoms. If it's a car, this incident is just a fluke.

Would you like to compare cars used as weapons for purposeful killing and guns? Somebody pushed a vending machine on someone and killed them a few times also.....compare the frequency of events. You can't point to one incident and compare it to something that happens every day.....just think about it.

We don't know that it was a deliberate act today. There are more accidental car deaths in this country than accidental gun deaths, yet the anti gun crowd will try to push their agenda by bringing up gun accidents. You're also assuming that if guns are taken away, people won't resort to using other methods to kill a lot of people. As a resident of Las Vegas, I can tell you I can probably kill more people with a full sized truck than I can with a legal gun.

If the driver was an illegal, are we going to have conversation on Mexican control?

Already happened, they said no illegal alien problems, drunk driving problems

 

[JudgeWapner]

I don't think the problem is alcohol or motor vehicles. I think they real problem we need to address are homecoming celebrations.

That makes no sense. We aren't talking about accidental deaths anyway but do you know how much money auto companies spend on trying to make cars safer? Do you know how much money they spend crash testing cars? Why do you think wearing seatbelt is the law? It's about safety and protection.

If you can do more damage with a car why isn't there mass classroom killings with trucks? Why don't gangs just go around running over people?

seriously, you guys need to think a little. It's like if somebody falls down an elevator shaft and then you say" we need to concentrate on elevator safety like we do researching cancer". Comparing a few incidents to thousands is just plain stupid.

We are talking about accidental deaths if the OSU incident that happened yesterday was accidental. I'm aware that car companies spend a lot of money to protect the occupants of the car, not people they might run over.

Trucks cost more than guns and they're more difficult to maneuver through school hallways. Gangs want to get away from people with guns. You're not going to try to run into a house, destroy your car and be stuck there around multiple enemies that have their guns pointed at you.

Again, if you compare car accident deaths to mass shootings, you'll see many more people die by car.

 

[Willie99]

I think we have to ban drunk driving, that'll do the trick

Sigh. Of course. It's ACCIDENTAL!!! Why do you think are called car accidents and shootings are not called mass accidents?

So as car makers and consumers try to make cars safer.....don't you think making guns safer is something we might wanna look in to?

Comparing this incident and gun incidents is borderline retarded and I'm not sure how you don't see it.

How about these terms.....Michigan State should never punt again because of their one incident against Michigan. I'm trying anything to get you to understand this extremely simple concept. The stupidity of comparisons is mind boggling.
