TUPELO, Okla. (AP) — A Marlow man has been killed in a head-on collision while he led an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper on a chase near Tupelo in Coal County.
Troopers say 42-year-old Michael Allen Penny died in the collision with a tractor-trailer rig just after 3 p.m. Thursday.
Investigators say Trooper Mark Benedict had stopped Penny for a traffic violation on state Highway 3 when Penny suddenly sped away.
Troopers say Penny then appeared to intentionally cross the center line and crash head-on into the rig. His vehicle then crossed back across the highway and collided with Benedict's patrol car.
Both Benedict and the driver of the rig were treated for minor injuries at a local hospital and released.
