Another deadly crash

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol investigated a five-vehicle fatality accident on Interstate 35 December 22 just before 7 p.m.

The patrol reported 24-year-old Chandra Crutasinger died at the scene. She was driving a 2015 Acura MDX. Two passengers in her vehicle were treated and released at OU Medical Center.

Lead investigator Mat Conway said a 2015 Ford F150 driven by Boyd Andrea, 35, of Springdale AR., struck a Chevrolet Tahoe in the rear to start the chain reaction accident.

The Tahoe left the scene but the Ford F150 went through the cable barrier and entered into oncoming southbound traffic. The Andrea vehicle then struck vehicles three, four and five before rolling onto its driver’s  side blocking both lanes of I-35.

Vehicle three was a 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 driven by Jeffery Levingston, 53, of Sulphur Springs, TX. Both he and a passenger, Debbie Levingston, 59, of Sulphur Springs were treated and released at Purcell Municipal Hospital.

Vehicle four was a 2007 Freightliner driven by Abdisamad Yasin, 42, of Burnsville, MN. He was not injured.

Vehicle five was the Crutsinger vehicle. Amber Scholl, 27, of Edmond and Ericka Scholl, 23, of Edmond were passengers in the vehicle.

Assisting Conway at the scene were Troopers Mike Wallace, Lt. Andre Rawls, Lt. Mike Abernathy, Caleb Scott Jarrod Terry, Destiny Terry, Dylan Wright, Purcell Firefighters and Wadley’s EMS.

The accident remains under investigation.
