1 Killed, 3 Injured in Wagoner County Car Accident
A head-on collision on State Highway 16 in the early hours of Saturday left one driver dead and three passengers hurt, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.
One person was killed and three others were injured in a car crash on State Highway 16 in Wagoner County on November 7, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.
The Early Morning Crash Near 40th Street East
The crash happened at about 3:07 a.m. near 40th Street East. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol identified the southbound driver as Gage Scott Wood, 20, of Muskogee, and said his vehicle struck another vehicle head-on. Troopers said Wood died at the scene, and the patrol said his family has been notified. The other vehicle's driver, Kaiden Glin Shanks, 20, of Muskogee, escaped injury. Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa received the three passengers from that vehicle, who were treated for their injuries.
Where the Oklahoma Highway Patrol Inquiry Stands
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has released the identity of the man who died and the basic details of the collision. The patrol has not announced the passengers' conditions. No charges have been announced.
When police say a crash is still under investigation, it usually means they are still collecting evidence and have not reached any conclusions.
