OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says at least
seven people are dead after a head-on collision near the town of
Elmwood in the Oklahoma Panhandle.
OHP Capt. Chris West says a Chevrolet Suburban traveled left of
center along Highway 412 early Wednesday and slammed head-on into a
van. West says early reports indicate both drivers were killed,
along with five others. He says the accident is still being
investigated, but that the Suburban was traveling at a high rate of
speed.
Elmwood is located in Beaver County in the Oklahoma Panhandle,
less than 10 miles from the Texas state line.
Both lanes of Highway 412 were closed at 6:20 a.m. and traffic
was rerouted onto county roads.
