MADILL — Three people have died after an early morning collision between a tractor-trailer and a pickup on a Marshall County highway.

The accident happened about 6 a.m. Sunday about four miles west of Madill on U.S. Highway 70. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has identified those who died as 32-year-old Brian Journagan of Velma, 26-year-old Cory Patterson of Duncan and 25-year-old Guoqing Mei of Duncan.

Troopers say Journagan was driving an eastbound tractor-trailer and that Patterson’s westbound pickup was sliding in the lane for an unknown reason.

Authorities say Journagan swerved to the left and the tractor-trailer struck the pickup in the driver’s side door. All three people involved in the accident died at the scene.
