A Shattuck man died from injuries suffered in an accident Tuesday morning.
Jeremy Delarosa, 20, was pronounced dead at the scene of head and internal injuries, according to an Oklahoma Highway Patrol report.
The accident happened sometime after midnight and was discovered at 8:30 a.m., according to the report. It happened on a county road southeast of Shattuck.
According to the report, Delarosa was driving a 2005 Chevrolet pickup north on a county road, crossing an east-west road that had a hump in the middle. His pickup went airborne for 64 feet, then went off the road on the left. Delarosa overcorrected, went into a broadslide, went off the road on the right, rolling two and one-quarter times and coming to rest on the driver’s side.
He was not wearing a seat belt and was partially ejected through the driver’s side window, according to the report.
