Online Edition
A speeding car crashed into a crowd watching a parade in Oklahoma on Saturday, killing four people, including a two-year-old boy.
The driver, a 25-year-old woman identified by police as Adacia Avery Chambers, was arrested for driving under the influence after the crash at an Oklahoma State University homecoming parade.
In an evening update, police in the town of Stillwater said a total of 44 people were also injured, double the number previously given. They had previously indicated that eight of the injured were in critical condition.
"Oklahoma State University is devastated by today's tragedy and extends its thoughts and prayers to the families of those who perished or were injured," OSU president Burns Hargis said in a statement.
"We are shocked and heartbroken by this horrible tragedy. The Oklahoma State University Homecoming parade is the most wholesome of events and to have it marred in such a way is incomprehensible."
The boy "died of injuries sustained in the collision" at hospital, the Stillwater Police Department said in a statement. Another three people were killed on the scene.
Police have yet to identify the victims.
