Erratic driver kills woman in Norman

NORMAN, Okla. -- Members of the District 2 Oklahoma County Commissioner's staff are mourning the loss of a coworker. Safari McDoulett, 36, was killed Monday evening when an impaired driver hit her SUV head on east of Norman.

She was a community relations director for the District 2 County Commissioner’s Office.

Police say they got several calls from motorists who were frantic about an erratic driver who was swerving in and out of traffic, but before anyone could stop him, the unthinkable happened.

Remnants of the wreck are still scattered across Highway 9 east of Norman.

Police say McDoulett was killed when 53-year-old Mark Allen Peters of Noble hit her SUV head on. 

Several frantic drivers called 911 in an attempt to get Peters off the road.

Bill to curb birthday binge benders

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Lindsay Ledford says her 21 birthday is a forgettable blur. "Very sick. I was very sick that night. I was hanging out the car door. When I opened the door my husband said, ‘Are you ready to go?’ I said no and threw up!"

Lindsay is not alone, excessive drinking is a common practice for freshly turned 21 year olds.

But State Representative Cory Williams is hoping to crack down.

When the clock strikes midnight, some new 21 year olds race to the liquor store or bar for their first legal taste of alcohol.

But under House Bill 3100, there would be a seven-hour waiting period. 

Rep. Williams hopes that would curb binge drinking and alcohol poisoning on campuses like the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.

The legislation would keep new 21 year olds from overindulging from 12 a.m. to 2 a.m. when most bars stop serving.
