WESLEY, OK -- A father was killed Saturday when he collided head-on with his son on a county road near Wesley, OK.
According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, both men were members of the Wesley Volunteer Fire Department and had responded to a grass fire call just before 3:30pm on County Road Wesley, 13 miles east of U.S. Highway 69.
According to the OHP, 30-year-old Juston Myers, from Pittsburg, was driving his personal vehicle, a 2000 Ford Pickup, northbound on the county road. Clayton Rice, 30, from Pittsburg was a passenger in the pickup.
Myers' father, John C. Myers, 61, also from Pittsburg, was driving a Wesley Volunteer Fire Department vehicle, a converted 1985 Chevy pickup, southbound on the county road.
OHP's report states that due to heavy smoke on the roadway, the two vehicles collided head-on.
John C. Myers, the father, was pinned in his vehicle for over an hour and a half. He was freed by the jaws of life, but was pronounced dead at the scene due to, what the report calls "massive injuries."
