Unsafe speed is to blame for a Saturday afternoon wreck that left a Gore girl with a leg injury, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP).

The OHP reported that Jessieka Englebrecht, 18, was driving a 1989 Ford four-door vehicle north on a county road eight miles north of Gore when the accident occurred. Englebrecht lost control of her vehicle, which ran off the roadway and struck a tree.

Englebrecht, who was wearing her seatbelt, was admitted to Muskogee Regional Medical Center in stable condition with a leg injury. The OHP reported that drug use was indicated, and the cause of the collision was listed as unsafe speed.

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.
