Two people died in a head-on collision in Seminole County Saturday.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Brad Stuteville said Vernon Casey, 70, Wewoka, was driving east on State Highway 9 in a 1970 Chevrolet pickup when the accident occurred.
Casey’s pickup crossed the center line and crashed into a 2008 Chevrolet HHR driven by Mary Puttmaker, 49, Wetumka. Casey and Puttmaker died at the scene from massive injuries.
A passenger in Mary Puttmaker’s vehicle, 14-year-old Sanah Puttmaker, Wetumka, was pinned for 45 minutes before being freed by Wewoka firefighters. She was taken to Integris Medical Center in Seminole and held for observation.
Stuteville said Casey was not wearing a seat belt and listed conditions as cloudy and wet.
