A Vian woman was injured Monday when the vehicle she was driving hydroplaned three miles west of Muldrow, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP).

Sally Shell, 56, was traveling west on Interstate 40 in a 1986 Ford vehicle when her vehicle hydroplaned, went off the north edge of the road, and struck some trees, the OHP reported.

Shell, who was wearing her seatbelt at the time of the accident, was transported to Sequoyah Memorial Hospital in Sallisaw. OHP reported Shell was in stable condition with arm and internal trunk injuries.

According to the OHP, the cause of the accident was unsafe speed and a wet roadway.

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.
