1 killed in Carter County Crash

LONE GROVE, Okla. (AP) - A Lone Grove man is dead after crashing the all-terrain vehicle he was driving on a county road in Carter County.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 22-year-old old Christopher Edelen was killed in the accident just before 2:00 Wednesday morning.

Troopers say Edelen lost control of the ATV in a curve and it rolled on its top. Investigators say Edelen wasn't wearing a helmet and died of head and internal injuries.

Antlers woman dies in crash

HUGO, Okla. (AP) - An Antlers woman has been killed in a two-car collision on a county road in Choctaw County.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 43-year-old Rebecca Smith died in the accident north of Hugo shortly before 8 Tuesday night.

Troopers say Smith was northbound when she lost control of her pickup truck in a curve and crashed into an oncoming pickup.

Investigators say Smith wasn't wearing a seat belt and was thrown nearly 50 feet from her truck as it rolled.

The driver of the second truck is hospitalized in fair condition.
