There were two juvenile passengers in Ingmire’s vehicle, ages 8 and 4, whose names have been withheld because of their ages, both of Red Rock, OK. The 8-year-old was transported by ambulance then transferred to Mediflight and taken to OU Children’s Medical Center in critical condition with head, leg, and trunk internal injuries. The 4-year-old was transported by private vehicle to OU Children’s Medical Center in stable condition with a trunk internal injury.
