Oklahoma Highway Patrol: 2 dead in Washita County crash
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is investigating after two people died in a Washita County crash.
A preliminary report from the agency says the driver, 34-year-old Rhonda R. Hulett, and her passenger, 46-year-old James Deffenbaugh, died in the crash late Friday about 15 miles east of Cordell.
The patrol says Hulett was traveling southbound on State Highway 54 when her vehicle failed to stop at a stop sign and struck a second vehicle that was traveling westbound.
Hulett’s pickup overturned and ejected her from the vehicle. Hulett and Deffenbaugh were pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the vehicle that was hit was taken to a local hospital with back injuries and contusions. He was in stable condition Saturday.
