According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, 77-year-old Pamela S. Roush of Arapaho was driving a 2023 Ford Expedition eastbound on OK-47 when the vehicle gradually veered off the roadway to the left for nearly 250 feet before striking a culvert.

Roush was pronounced dead at the scene. Her body was transported by Hometown Funeral Home to their facility in Clinton before being transferred to the Medical Examiner's Office in Oklahoma City.
