The Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) reported that the accident occurred at about 1:25 p.m. nearly two and a half miles east of Vian on Dwight Mission Road.
Todd G. Cruz, 38, of Cookson was driving a 1986 Chevrolet S-10 south on Dwight Mission Road when he failed to negotiate a curve. Cruz's vehicle went off the south side of the road, striking a ditch and partially going through a fence before coming to a stop, according to the OHP.
Cruz was not injured in the accident, but a passenger in his vehicle, Anita L. Tinsley, 49, also of Gore, was admitted to Sparks Regional Medical Center in Fort Smith, Ark., in stable condition with internal and external and head injuries.
The OHP reported that the cause of the collision was unsafe speed on a curve. Neither Cruz nor Tinsley was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident.
