6 Oklahoma High School Students Killed in Crash

Six high school students were killed in a crash on Tuesday when the vehicle they were in collided with a semi-truck in Tishomingo, Okla., a rural city about 120 miles southeast of Oklahoma City, the authorities said.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol did not immediately release the names of the students, whose ages ranged from 15 to 17 and were riding in a 2015 Chevrolet Spark, a subcompact car, the agency said in an email.

The driver of the truck, a 1994 Peterbilt semi, was not injured, the Highway Patrol said. The crash, which is under investigation, occurred at the intersection of U.S. Highway 377 and State Highway 22 at around 12:30 p.m., according to the authorities.

Bobby Waitman, the superintendent of Tishomingo Public Schools, said in an interview that the six students all attended Tishomingo High School, which has about 240 students and is one of three schools in the district, which also includes a middle school and an elementary school.

“This is a community that supports one another,” he said. “It’s a very close-knit community, so the entire community will be grieving these young people’s loss.”

Mr. Waitman said he was awaiting more information about the crash from the highway patrol. “Our hearts are broken,” he said in a statement to parents and community members.

“We have counselors available to students presently,” he said. “We also have space prepared at Tishomingo High School with counselors available through the evening.” He said the school would be open on Wednesday, with the main focus being to support the emotional needs of students.

The Johnston County Sheriff’s Office said on social media that the highway was open to traffic again as of Tuesday afternoon.

“Our prayers are with each of the families involved and our community,” the statement said. “This is an absolute tragedy which will have life long effects. This community and families need our support and prayers at this time.”

The crash came one week after a 13-year-old boy was behind the wheel of a pickup truck that struck a van in West Texas, a collision that killed nine people. The dead included a University of the Southwest golf coach and six of his players, along with the boy and a man traveling with him, officials said.
