2 killed in rollover wreck on OK 6 in Beckham County

BECKHAM COUNTY, OK – Two people lost their lives as a result of a rollover collision Thursday afternoon, April 10, on State Highway 6 near Sweetwater, reports KOCO.

The fatal incident unfolded near North 1770 Road, about 5 miles east outside of the city, at around 12:30 p.m.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers say two Ringling residents, ages 77 and 73, were traveling in a pickup truck heading west on the highway when they tried to pass a big rig. At one point, as an eastbound vehicle came into view at the top of a hill, the pickup truck appeared to travel back into the westbound lane, but then veered off the roadway and overturned.

Officials say the 77-year-old driver of the pickup and his passenger, 73, suffered fatal injuries in the crash. Neither occupant was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident, according to an investigation.
