IC)—An Enid man was hospitalized after crashing a reportedly stolen vehicle just after 9:30 Wednesday night in Woods County. Oklahoma Highway Patrol officials said 48 year-old Howard Selvey was transported from the scene by Air-Evac and taken to OU Medical Center in OKC where he was admitted in critical condition with head, neck and trunk injuries. According to the report, Selvey was northbound at a high rate of speed on a county road southeast of Hopeton in a 2000 Chevy pickup that had been reported stolen. He was being pursued by a pickup driven by 42 year-old Anthony Robinson, a Deputy with the Major County Sheriff’s Office, when both vehicles went through a “T” intersection, hit the ditch and entered a field. The pickup driven by Selvey, who was not wearing his seatbelt, rolled a half time coming to rest on its top. Following the crash, Robinson was taken to Fairview Regional Hospital where he was treated and released. The incident remains under investigation.
