Stillwater, Oklahoma - An Oklahoma judge on Monday set bond at $1 million for the woman suspected of plowing her car into a crowd at a weekend homecoming rally for Oklahoma State University, killing four and injuring nearly 50 others.

Adacia Chambers, 25, is suspected of having been driving while intoxicated when she rammed her gray Hyundai Elantra at high speed into a crowd watching Saturday's parade in Stillwater, killing three adults and a toddler, police said.

Chambers appeared by video link with Payne County District Court in her first court proceeding for the case. She has been charged with second-degree murder, which can bring between 10 years and life in prison.

She did not enter a plea and another hearing was set for Nov. 13.

Four dozen people were also injured, five of them critically, in the accident that sent shockwaves through the college town about 70 miles (112.5 km) west of Tulsa. The crash was captured on mobile-phone video and seen globally.
