DURANT, Okla. (AP) - The Oklahoma Highway Patrol
says an 11-year-old Durant boy is dead after a single-vehicle crash in
Bryan County.
Authorities say the crash happened Sunday afternoon
on a county road south of Blue in Bryan County. A preliminary report
says 28-year-old Clyde Powell was driving an SUV carrying six passengers
when he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a fence and a
tree.
Authorities say Powell and all six passengers were ejected from the vehicle.
The highway patrol says 11-year-old Joseph Miller
was pronounced dead at the scene. A 14-year-old girl and a 33-year-old
woman are both in critical condition at a Plano, Texas, hospital.
Authorities say Powell and the remaining passengers are in stable
condition at area hospitals.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
