Alcohol may have been the reason that a 19-year-old Muldrow woman was hospitalized following a one-vehicle accident on Interstate 40.

Saturday Amber O’Neal was driving her 2000 Honda Accord east when her vehicle left the road for 229 feet then struck a guardrail, according to Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) Trooper Sheldon Dobbs.

Dobbs said after the vehicle struck the guardrail it continued to go east then struck a bridge curb on I-40 which caused the vehicle to flip one and a half times and land on its top.

O’Neal is listed in stable condition with leg and trunk injuries at Sparks Regional Medical Center in Fort Smith Ark.

Dobbs said the cause of the collision was alcohol and O’Neal was not wearing her seatbelt.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
