By Ray Maples on January 25, 2012

A 21-year-old man died and four others were injured in an Oklahoma car accident. According to a news report in The Tulsa World, the fatal car accident occurred five miles east of Durant on U.S. 70. The 21-year-old man was driving as he was texting on his cell phone, Oklahoma Highway Patrol officials say. He drove the 2002 Ford off the right side of the road, overcorrected, and then ran off the left side of the roadway. The vehicle rolled one and a quarter times.

The driver was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene. Officials also believe he may have been under the influence. Two 18-year-old female passengers in the vehicle sustained head and internal injuries. A 20-year-old woman and a 19-year-old woman were transported to an area hospital in stable condition. One other 21-year-old male passenger was uninjured.
