Motorist charged with murder of parade spectators

A woman accused of running a red light and purposely driving around a barricade and over a police motorcycle before crashing into spectators at Oklahoma State University’s homecoming parade was formally charged with four counts of second-degree murder and 46 counts of felony assault.

Payne County District Attorney Laura Thomas filed formal charges against 25-year-old Adacia Chambers of Stillwater.

Each murder count is punishable by at least 10 years in prison.

Chambers has remained jailed in Stillwater since the October 24 crash that left four people dead and at least 46 others hurt, including many children.

A judge also has ordered a psychological evaluation for Chambers.

Chambers’ attorney, Tony Coleman, has previously said that when he told Chambers about the deaths, “her face was blank”.
