A Norman man was charged Thursday with first-degree manslaughter and driving under the influence of marijuana in connection with a May 10 fatality traffic accident at the intersection of Lindsey Street and Berry Road.
An arrest warrant was issued for Jonathan Parker Bogle, 18, requesting he be detained on $50,000 bond.
Dovie Rose, 52, Oklahoma City, died at the scene of the collision. Her daughter, Autumn Rose, 24, Oklahoma City, was in critical condition after the accident and "spent a significant amount of time -- weeks and weeks -- in Norman Regional Hospital," said Cleveland County District Attorney Greg Mashburn.
Mashburn said Autumn Rose "underwent numerous medical procedures" before being released from the hospital.
According to Norman police, Dovie Rose was driving a 2004 Chevrolet Malibu eastbound on Lindsey Street and Autumn Rose was a front-seat passenger when the collision occurred at 4:13 p.m.
Police said Bogle was driving a 1997 Ford F-150 pickup southbound on Berry Road when "approximately 615 feet north of Lindsey, both passenger tires of the defendant's vehicle exited the roadway to the west."
"The defendant corrected this action and crossed left of center nearly striking two northbound vehicles," police said. Bogle continued southbound on Berry and entered the intersection with the traffic signal displaying a solid red, police said.
Dovie Rose entered the intersection with the traffic signal green.
"The defendant failed to stop for the traffic signal and also entered the intersection. The front of the defendant's vehicle made contact with the driver's side of Dovie Rose's vehicle," police said.
Reportedly Bogle's truck was traveling "at least 46 mph and Rose's vehicle was traveling 25 mph. Both vehicles' speed limits were posted at 30 mph," police said.
"The impact resulted in major damage to both vehicles. The defendant's vehicle rolled onto its roof and continued southbound until it struck a northbound 2000 Chevrolet Camaro," police said.
Neither the driver, Hallie Barnes, 25, Norman, nor the two children in the Camaro were reported to have been injured.
The defendant was transported to Norman Regional Hospital for minor injuries. At NRH, the defendant submitted to a blood draw. The OSBI analysis of the blood showed positive for cannabinoids, police said.
"Given the fact that marijuana was found in the defendant's system -- testing positive for cannabinoids raises the charge to first-degree manslaughter from negligent homicide," Mashburn said.
First-degree manslaughter is a felony and negligent homicide is a misdemeanor, Mashburn said.
According to an e-mail sent to The Transcript's Web site by a co-worker, Dovie Rose worked as a toll collector at the Santa Fe gate of the Kilpatrick Turnpike: "She was a kind, helpful person ... She will be greatly missed at the turnpike. I attended her funeral. It was beautiful. The song they made especially for Dovie was her to the T. I knew she wrote poetry. The ones that were read just touched our hearts. Dovie's an angel in heaven now singing karaoke and collecting the tolls with her smiling face. Her co-workers miss her deeply."
