The Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) announced that two people were killed on U.S. 271 recently, just five miles from the town of Hugo in southern Oklahoma. The OHP stated that the three vehicle accident resulted in the death of two adults, 32 and 45 years old. Two other individuals, one a 14 year old girl, were injured in the crash.
The accident reportedly happened when a pickup truck slowed to make a left hand turn onto a county road. A vehicle following the truck rear-ended it when trying to pass, then collided head-on with a third vehicle going the opposite direction.
