Rollover Accident in Sallisaw Sends Three to Hospital

A rollover accident in Sallisaw Monday evening sent three to the hospital, according to Sallisaw police.

Brooke Jordan, 25, of Muldrow, was driving a 2007 Chevrolet Aveo eastbound on U.S. 64/Cherokee Avenue at approximately 10:21 p.m. Monday, when she failed to negotiate a curve, according to Capt. Jeff Murray of the Sallisaw Police Department. Jordan’s vehicle then departed the roadway on the north side of U.S.64/Cherokee Avenue, causing the vehicle to roll approximately four times.

The driver and a passenger, 1-year-old River Young, also of Muldrow, were extricated from the vehicle by officers before the vehicle became fully engulfed in fire, Murray said.

Another passenger, Cameron Young, 21, of Muldrow, was able to exit the vehicle before it caught fire, but was transported by personal vehicle to NHS-Sequoyah emergency room with arm injuries.

Jordan and the child were both transported by Pafford EMS to NHS-Sequoyah. Jordan received head and trunk internal injuries. The child was in a car seat; injuries are unknown, according to Murray.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol assisted with the scene.
