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."

Juston Myers, the son, was treated at the scene for leg injuries. His passenger, Rice was transported by Eagle Med to McAlester Hospital with head, leg and arm injuries. As of Saturday night, he was in good condition.
