Early-morning accident kills one teenager, injures second

Body

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said an El Reno teen was killed and another injured when the vehicle they were in crashed in Caddo County.

The accident occurred just before 4 a.m. June 10 at the intersection of US-281 and County Road 1120, two miles north of Lookeba. 

OHP reports said a 2018 Dodge Charger was being driven by Chiloh J.T. Whiteshirt, 18. Whiteshirt was taken by Air Evac to Baptist Integris Hospital and admitted in fair condition with leg and arm injuries. 

Adams Park, Route 66 at the center of ASTW

Body

With clouds and rain gone by noon on Saturday, cars and crowds descended on Adams Park to take part in or watch A Small Town Weekend’s burnout, closed cruise and drag racing events.

Twenty drivers paid $20 each to bring their engine-rumbling and roaring sports cars and pickups to the ready line of the Burnout on Route 66. The goal was to produce voluminous, billowing clouds of tire-rubber smoke for at least 20 seconds - and they did.

The new Route 66 and Filling Station signs were lit brightly

Jury recommends life for convicted rapist

Body

A Canadian County jury is recommending life in prison for Agustin Salazar-Fraire after he was convicted last week of two counts of lewd acts to a child under 16 and four counts of rape in the first degree.  

The district attorney’s office said charges resulted from a pattern of ongoing sexual abuse of four juvenile boys over a 10-year period.
