QUINTON, Okla. (AP) -- Four people have died after a two-vehicle collision on State Highway 31 in Haskell County.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says the accident occurred Sunday at about 5:19 p.m. about one mile east of Quinton.

Troopers say a Ford Mustang driven by 25-year-old Jennifer Tucker of Kinta was eastbound and went left of center, striking a westbound Chevrolet Malibu driven by 69-year-old Wilbur Vanhorn of Norman.

The collision knocked Vanhorn's vehicle off the road and caused it to overturn one-half time, landing on its top and pinning its occupants for between 45 minutes and 2 1/2 hours.

Tucker was pinned in her car for about an hour. She died after being taken to a Stigler hospital.

Troopers say Vanhorn died at the scene, as did one of his passengers, 79-year-old Dolores Vanhorn of Eufaula. Another of his passengers, 81-year-old Lynn Vanhorn of Eufaula, was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital in Fort Smith, Ark.
