IC)--A Hockley, Texas, man was injured Thursday in a two-vehicle accident in Alfalfa County near Cherokee. 62 year-old Marty Allen Crowl was admitted to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, Kan., in stable condition with internal trunk injuries. Oklahoma Highway Patrol officials said the accident happened at 2:45 Thursday afternoon on U.S. 64 near the intersection with State Highway 8 about 2 miles north of Cherokee. According to the report, Crowl was westbound on U.S. 64 when he ran the stop sign at Highway 8 while attempting to pass a 2018 Ram 3500 pickup driven by 29 year-old Brock Thomas White of Earlville, Iowa. Due to oncoming traffic, Crowl swerved back into the westbound lane and hit the passenger side of a stock trailer White was pulling. White was not injured, but a horse in the trailer was taken to a local veterinary clinic with leg injuries. The report lists Crowl’s condition at the time of the accident as “odor of alcohol” and the cause of the accident as DUI.
