Four people were killed and 47 were injured when a car drove into a crowd at the Oklahoma State University homecoming parade Oct. 24.

Three adults and a 2-year-old boy were killed in the incident while at least four of the people injured remain in critical condition.

Stillwater residents Bonnie Jean Stone and Marvin Lyle Stone, both 65, were among the fatalities, along with Nash Lucas, 2, whose mother is a student at OSU, and Nikita Prabhakar, a University of Central Oklahoma student from Mumbai, India.

The person suspected of driving the car, 25-year-old Adacia Chambers, was arrested at the scene and faces four charges of second-degree murder and a charge of driving under the influence, according to USA Today. Chambers’ attorney Tony Coleman said he thinks his client has a mental illness and doesn’t believe she was intoxicated at the time of the crash. Another attorney suggested Chambers would be charged with driving under the influence of drugs.

Chambers drove her Elantra into several barriers and over a parked police motorcycle before hitting the crowd of people.

The parade attracted around 80,000 people to its downtown location.
