STILLWATER, Oklahoma — (Scroll down for video) — A woman plowed through a crowd of people during the Oklahoma State University Homecoming Parade in Stillwater, Oklahoma in October.
The crash resulted in the death of four people and the injury of forty-seven others.
Fox News anchor Arthel Neville was discussing the suspect’s motive on-air Sunday and said, “If you’re going to kill yourself, go kill yourself and don’t harm other people.”
Neville went on to clarify that she understood the tragic epidemic of suicide and simply meant if someone was to commit the act, they shouldn’t harm others in the process.
The driver, Adacia Chambers, was arrested on suspicion of DUI. She is now held on four complaints of second-degree murder.
Her attorney says he doesn’t believe she was drinking the night before or morning of the crash.
Chambers’ attorney said the woman has a mental illness, though he did not speculate what kind of mental illness she may have.
From KOCO: “He said he met with Chambers on Saturday night. He told reporters that there was a period of time that Chambers does not remember and he believed she may have blacked out.
Coleman said he believes she was suicidal at the time of the crash. He said in interviews with loved ones, it was revealed that she would go days without sleeping and was concerned about others’ perceptions about her.”
The deceased include a 2-year-old boy and 3 adults, identified as Marvin Lyle Stone, 65, Bonnie Jean Stone, 65, and 23-year-old Nakita Prabhakar.
Police said the woman’s car struck an unmanned police motorcycle before driving into a crowd of spectators.
