CHANDLER, Okla. — An Oklahoma state senator from Tulsa is facing a first-degree manslaughter charge after authorities say she was speeding and driving recklessly when her vehicle skidded off the road and crashed into a man's disabled vehicle, killing him.
The charge against Democratic Sen. Alison Ikley-Freeman was filed Monday in Lincoln County.
According to a state trooper who investigated the May accident, Ikley-Freeman was traveling above the speed limit in rainy conditions.
Enrique Lopez died at the scene.
Ikley-Freeman lost her reelection bid last week.
