Prosecutor: Driver in parade crash went around barricade

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) A woman accused of driving her car into a crowd of people at Oklahoma State University's homecoming parade ''purposely'' went around a barricade, ran a red light and drove over a police motorcycle before crashing into the spectators, a prosecutor said Monday.

''The evidence suggests this was an intentional act, not an accident,'' Payne County District Attorney Laura Thomas said in a public statement. The driver's actions demonstrated ''a depraved mind and indifference to human life.''

At a bail hearing, the district attorney told the judge that Adacia Chambers is ''looking at four life sentences'' if convicted in the deaths of four people who were hit.
