A U.S. House candidate in Oklahoma has apologized after reports that she became intoxicated at a Valentine's Day weekend sleepover for middle-school-aged girls, berated several of the children and vomited in a hamper.
Democrat Abby Broyles, 32, told NBC affiliate KFOR of Oklahoma City that she had an adverse reaction after drinking wine and taking sleep medication given to her by a friend.
"Instead of helping me sleep, I hallucinated," Broyles told the station in a televised interview. "And I don't remember anything until I woke up or came to, and I was throwing up in a hamper."
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday night while coming in for a landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington. The Black Hawk helicopter was carrying a crew of three. Officials said early Thursday that everyone on board both aircraft is believed dead, which would make it the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly a quarter century.
