A Thursday morning accident one mile east of Webbers Falls on Interstate 40 left three dead and one injured, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP).

Karen Sue Ingram, 51, of Conway, Ark., was driving a 1998 GMC Jimmy westbound at about 11:50 a.m. when, for an unknown reason, she lost control of her vehicle, the OHP reported. Ingram's vehicle then struck a westbound 2004 Ford van, driven by Alfred H. Schulte of Kerrville, Texas.

The OHP reported that Ingram's sport utility vehicle ran off the north side of the road and rolled four and a half times. Three passengers in Ingram's vehicle were ejected. All four were transported to Muskogee Regional Medical Center.

Ingram, and her husband, Travis Lee Ingram, 53, were pronounced dead on arrival from multiple injuries. The OHP reported that Karen Ingram, who was the only one in her vehicle wearing a seatbelt, was pinned for about 45 minutes before being freed by the Warner Fire Department.

Another passenger in Ingram's vehicle, Marjorie J. Matthew, 79, of Conway, was also pronounced dead on arrival from multiple injuries.

A third passenger, David Kevin Matthew, 45, also of Conway, was admitted in stable condition with multiple injuries.

Schulte and his wife, Lois A. Schulte, 69, were not injured in the accident.

The OHP reported that the Schultes were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the accident.

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.
