Published November 11, 2007 02:20 pm - Troopers say driver was going wrong way on interstate early Sunday morning.

5 dead, 2 more critical in I-35 crash at Goldsby



GOLDSBY, Okla. (AP) — A car traveling the wrong way on Interstate 35 collided head-on with another car early Sunday, killing five people including the driver and three passengers in one car.

The dead included an 18-year-old girl and three other people in their 20s who were among six occupants of one vehicle, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said. The driver and passengers of that vehicle were pinned in the wreckage for 15 minutes, troopers said.

The collision occurred at 2:28 a.m. in the southbound lanes of I-35 in McClain County about 30 miles south of Oklahoma City. A car driven by Sofia Anne Roberts, 48, of Maysville, was traveling northbound in the southbound lanes when it collided head-on into a southbound car driven by Brant Mathew Winton, 23, of Ada, the patrol said.

The force of the collision caused Winton’s vehicle to spin out of control, striking a third vehicle, the patrol said. The driver of that vehicle was not injured.

The state Medical Examiner’s Office pronounced Roberts and Winton dead at the scene along with three passengers in Winton’s vehicle. Troopers identified them as Monica Shae Countryman, 18, of Ada; Gary Gene Givens, 23, of Wetumka; and Rebekah Jane Burgess, 21, of Konawa.

The patrol said two other passengers, Daniel Jordan Cosar, 17, of Konawa, and a 22-year-old Allen man whose name was withheld pending notification of relatives were listed in critical condition at the University of Oklahoma Medical Center in Oklahoma City Sunday afternoon with a variety of injuries.

Troopers said the drivers of all three vehicles were wearing seat belts but that seat belts were not used by the passengers in Winton’s car.
