"We heard somebody scream, 'Look out!.' (He) plowed through a police motorcycle, and then a crowd of people," Dave Kapple of Houston told the Stillwater News Press. "People were flying everywhere."
"At first we thought it was part of the show," Konda Walker, a fan from Anchorage, Alaska, told the News Press. "People were flying 30 feet into the air like rag dolls."
Oklahoma State University released a statement calling the incident "tragic."
