Staff reports
A Cherokee woman was killed Wednesday after she was thrown from a vehicle in a one-car wreck in rural Alfalfa County.
Jean Francis Owens, 38, was a passenger in a 1997 Ford Thunderbird driven by Jared Michael Curran, 17, of Cherokee, when the wreck happened, according to Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Owens was taken to Integris Bass Baptist Health Center and died of external and internal trunk injuries.
The vehicle was westbound on U.S. 64 at about 9:45 a.m. Wednesday when it ran off the north side of the road twice then overcorrected and ran back off the north side again. It rolled once, and Owens was ejected, according to the OHP. The wreck happened three and a half miles west of Jet on U.S. 64 in Alfalfa County.
Curran was wearing a seat belt, but Owens was not, according to the report. The report listed the cause of the wreck as a distraction inside the vehicle.
