Canadian County commissioner dies in pickup crash
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A 46-year-old Canadian County commissioner from Calumet has died in a one-vehicle rollover crash on a gravel road.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says Grant Hedrick died at the scene of the accident on a rural county road, which happened about 8:10 a.m. on Monday.
Troopers say Hedrick's pickup left the roadway to the right for an unknown reason. After Hedrick corrected across the roadway to the left, the pickup hit an embankment and went airborne.
Troopers say the pickup rolled an unknown amount of times and that Hedrick, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected.
Phil Carson, another Canadian County commissioner, says county workers learned of the accident not long after Hedrick failed to show up for a commission meeting. Hedrick had been a commissioner for 11 years.
