Four young people, three of them from El Reno, were killed in a crash early Friday involving a wrong-way driver along Interstate 40.

Reports from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said the accident occurred near Czech Hall in Yukon around 12:30 a.m. 

The three El Reno teenagers killed were Quincy Jones, 19, Brad Palmer, 18, and Haleigh Salazar, 18. Also killed was the driver, 20-year-old Kiercey Hickson from Stillwater.

The driver of the wrong-way vehicle was taken to Integris Baptist Hospital in critical condition. 

El Reno High School held its graduation Saturday with 240 seniors taking part in the ceremony.

Too many people are allowing their pets to give birth to litters of puppies or kittens and then surrendering the newborn critters to the El Reno Animal Shelter. 

Last week, the city council took steps intended to fix the problem. 

Council voted unanimously to create an ordinance that requires anyone who has surrendered unwanted pets to the shelter to have their adult animals, over 6 months old, spayed or neutered. 

Ward 1 council member Amy Neathery proposed the ordinance, which was endorsed by Police Chief Ken Brown. 

Mayor Steve Jensen said the El Reno City Council will gather at noon on Wednesday in a special meeting to discuss the resignation of City Manager Matt Sandidge. 

Sandidge made the news public last Thursday. He is leaving after six years serving as city manager here to join the private sector. 

Jensen praised Sandidge for creating an atmosphere of progress and stability for El Reno during his tenure. 

The mayor said the council will meet, probably behind closed doors in executive session, to discuss the path moving forward.
