A Canton man has been admitted to OU Medical Center in critical condition following a single-vehicle collision in Dewey County.
Gabriel Rocha, 23, was travelling southbound on County Road 2450 in his 2013 Dodge Charger a little before midnight on Wednesday evening. Rocha’s vehicle almost ran off the road to the left, but eventually departed to the right as Rocha overcorrected his steer. Then, the vehicle rolled once through a ditch, travelled off a cement culvert and came to rest in a creek.
Rocha was ejected from the vehicle during the accident. Air-Evac transported Rocha to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City where he was admitted in critical condition.
Both the condition of Rocha at the time of the accident and the cause of the accident are currently under investigation.
