(Enid, OK) A Thursday night accident in Kingfisher County involving three vehicles claimed the lives of three people, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
The OHP reported the crash occurred at about 10p.m. Thursday, east of Okeene, near the Kingfisher-Blaine County line.
The OHP report stated that a 1989 John Deere tractor driven by 19-year-old Jake Sinclair, of Watonga, was eastbound in the south ditch of Oklahoma 51, and entered the roadway. A 2015 Peterbilt semi-trailer driven by 58-year-old Gordon Henry approached the rear of the tractor and the truck driver swerved left to avoid striking Sinclair, and entered the westbound lane.
The report stated that a 2001 Ford Taurus driven by 33-year-old Sergio Adrian Lopez Garcia, of Okeene, was traveling westbound on Oklahoma 51 and took evasive action right to avoid the semi. Both vehicles entered the north ditch and collided.
Garcia and two juveniles, a 6-year-old and an 11-year-old, were pronounced dead at the scene from injuries sustained in the collision, according to OHP.
Neither the driver of the tractor nor the semi were injured. The condition of all three drivers and the cause of the collision are all under investigation, according to the report.
