WARR ACRES, Okla. (KOCO) — Police released the identities of a mother and daughter who were hit by a truck on Sunday in Warr Acres.
Kelsey Daniels, 45, and her 19-year-old daughter, Crystal, were walking along a sidewalk near Northwest 38th and MacArthur when they were struck by a truck. Kelsey died at the scene, and Crystal was transported to a hospital in critical condition, but she was released later that day.
“The girl who survived, they brought her inside, and she came up to me and said, ‘I just lost my mom. What can I do?'” witness Travis Ward said.
Newly filed documents reveal that the 67-year-old driver hit the curb with such force that it blew out two of his tires. When officers arrived, they found a box of NyQuil in the center console of the vehicle.
The driver was unable to complete a field sobriety test and admitted to police that he had taken NyQuil a few hours before the incident.
After being taken to the hospital, the driver disclosed that he had also consumed several medications, including Suboxone, an opioid.
KOCO 5 is not naming the suspect since he has not been officially charged.
The probable cause affidavit indicates he was arrested for second-degree murder and driving under the influence.
