FC)--A Neosho, Mo., man died Monday from injuries suffered in an accident involving three semis near Watonga in Blaine County. Oklahoma Highway Patrol officials said 29 year-old Sean Bush was pronounced dead at the scene. According to the report, the accident happened just before 2:30 Monday afternoon on U.S. 270 about 12 miles west of Watonga. Authorities said Bush was driving a 2013 Peterbilt south on U.S. 270 when he hit the rear of a 2017 Peterbilt that was hauling hazardous material and had stopped at a railroad crossing as required. That driver was not hurt. Bush’s semi then crossed into the northbound lanes and hit a third semi, driven by 62 year-old Robert Palacio, of Garden City, Kan. head on. Palacio was transported by helicopter to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City for treatment of unspecified injuries. The accident remains under investigation.

VP)--The Oklahoma State Department of Health COVID-19 vaccine scheduler portal is now available for pre-registration. The department launched the COVID-19 vaccine scheduler portal to notify Oklahomans when they’re eligible to receive the vaccine and provide more information on how to schedule an appointment. Oklahomans can visit this portal at vaccinate.oklahoma.gov, but appointment scheduling will not be available until Thursday. Health officials said currently only Oklahomans who are 65 and older, health care workers and/or first responders will be able to schedule appointments. As the state advances in its phased approach to vaccine distribution, the system will notify and allow individuals in additional priority groups and phases the opportunity to schedule their appointment.
