Father and son injured in motorcycle crash





A 4-year-old Westville boy was listed in good condition Tuesday at St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa, and his father was listed in good condition at an Arkansas hospital where they are recovering from injuries sustained in a motorcycle wreck on Sunday.

Tyler Hudson sustained head, arm and leg injuries, according to a report from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

He was a passenger on a 2002 Yamaha motorcycle driven by his father, Jimmy Hudson, 24, of Watts, who is hospitalized at Washington Regional Hospital in Fayetteville, Ark.

The OHP reported Hudson was eastbound on a county road two miles north of Watts about 8:26 p.m., when he came over a hillcrest at an unsafe speed and failed to stay right of center. Tyler Hudson struck the mirror on a westbound 2001 Dodge pickup driven by Bryan Ward, 19, of Watts. Hudson lost control of his motorcycle and traveled approximately 240 feet. Both he and his son were ejected, the OHP reported.

Neither Ward nor his passengers were injured, the OHP said.
