OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Authorities have attributed two more traffic deaths in Oklahoma in part to icy road conditions.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 54-year-old Michael Foltz of Burneyville died Tuesday when his van went off State Highway 32 in Love County and traveled 600 feet before hitting a tree. The accident happened about 6:40 p.m. about 11 miles east of Marietta.
Troopers say Foltz was traveling at an unsafe speed for ice or snow on the road.
In Blaine County, 17-year-old Anthony Alexander Pembrook of Longdale died early Wednesday after his pickup left a county gravel road and hit a tree, then a telephone pole. Troopers say Pembrook also was traveling at an unsafe speed for ice or snow on the road.
