OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A Yukon woman is dead and two others are in critical condition following a two-car crash on the Kilpatrick Turnpike in Oklahoma City.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 37-year-old Amanda Carson died after the accident happened about 11 p.m. Saturday near Wilshire Boulevard in Canadian County.

The patrol says the cause of the crash is under investigation but that Carson’s SUV was involved in a crash with a car driven by Craig Maker of Edmond.



Carson was taken to OU Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. The patrol says she wasn’t wearing a seat belt.

A 9-year-old girl in Carson’s vehicle and a second unidentified passenger also were taken to the hospital and admitted in critical condition.
