3 hurt in crashes on county roads

Staff reports

Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers worked two injury accidents in surrounding counties Wednesday and Thursday.

Troopers investigated a motorcycle accident about 9 p.m. Wednesday 4 1/2 miles west of Geary on a county road in Blaine County.

Garrett Dean Yocum, 52, of Geary, was riding a 2000 Harley Davidson motorcycle westbound on the county road when he went off the road 212 feet. He went into a broadslide, rolling the motorcycle twice and coming to rest in the north ditch, according to an OHP report. Yocum was ejected 17 feet from the point of impact.

He was transported by Geary EMS to Parkview Medical Center, in El Reno, and transferred to University of Oklahoma Medical Center, in Oklahoma City, where he was admitted and remains in critical condition with head, arm and internal injuries.

Yocum was not wearing a helmet, and cause of the accident was unsafe speed for type of roadway, the report states.



Grant County wreck



On Thursday, troopers investigated an accident in Grant County reported at about 6:20 a.m. on the Jefferson blacktop, about one and one-half miles east of Redhill Road.

According to the report, Linda Sue Wittum, 37, of Medford, was eastbound when her 2008 Nissan Titan pickup left the road to the south. She overcorrected and went back across the road into the north ditch. The pickup rolled about three times before coming to rest on its wheels in a field.

Wittum was transported by Pond Creek EMS to St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center, where she was admitted in critical condition with head and internal injuries.

Her passenger, 67-year-old Nolan W. Mercer, of Caldwell, Kan., was transported by Medford EMS to Integris Bass Baptist Health Center and admitted in serious condition with head, arm and internal injuries, the report states.

Spokeswomen for both Enid hospitals said Mercer was not a patient Thursday evening.

Wittum and Mercer were wearing their seat belts, according to the report.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation ,and the report lists “odor of alcoholic beverage” as condition of the driver.
