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.

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.
