A multi-vehicle collision Sunday evening, October 11, shut down Highway 51 west of Lacey for approximately two hours while emergency crews worked the scene and several victims received medical attention.
The accident occurred at approximately 8:45 p.m. near the intersection of Highway 51 and N2740 Road.
According to a statement from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP), a silver Subaru traveling eastbound on Highway 51 collided with a Chevrolet pickup traveling southbound on N2740 Road.
The pickup was driven by an 18-year-old male from Enid who was not injured.
The Subaru was occupied by two adults, a 34-year-old male and a 34-year-old female, along with a juvenile. All three occupants were from Tulsa.
The two adults were transported from the accident scene by Mercy Regional EMS of Hennessey and Pafford EMS of Okeene to a nearby oilfield location approximately half a mile east of the collision. Two Air Evac LifeTeam helicopters landed at that location and transported both patients to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City.
The extent of their injuries has not been released.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is withholding the names and additional information about those involved pending notification of family members.
