The woman charged in the deaths of five people after crashing with a fire truck in March, has now been booked into jail.
Court records show Keiosha Rucker has been a hospital.
The charges are not convictions.
The victims killed were 23-year-old Tamia Ray, 5-year-old Keylani Jones, 4-year-old Makiya Chatmon and 1-year-old Aiziah Jones. The woman who lost her baby was nearly 25 weeks into her pregnancy.
Police say Keiosha Rucker pulled out in front of a fire truck when it was running lights and sirens to a call.
The crash happened Feb. 26th and the impact sent the car off the road and into a telephone pole. Keiosha Rucker, the driver, and the woman who lost her baby were the only survivors.
In addition to the five counts of first-degree manslaughter, Rucker is also charged with driving under the influence of drugs and failing to yield to an emergency vehicle.
The probable cause affidavit says a toxicology report showed that Rucker tested positive for cocaine and marijuana at the time of the crash and prosecutors are waiting on blood results from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
The affidavit also says Rucker was driving without a license when the crash happened. Tulsa police Captain Richard Meulenberg says this tragedy was a culmination of several poor decisions that all could have been prevented.
“They should know already, find me one human being that thinks it’s okay to be high driving a car full of kids, no one is going to say it’s okay,” says Meulenberg.
