Laverne, Oklahoma — Police said that there was an accident yesterday morning in northwest Oklahoma, near the Kansas border, that killed a man from Forgan and injured a man from Buffalo. They identified the two men as Brian Larcohe, 22, (who died) and Donny Yauk, 38 (who was injured).
This accident happened just before 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning, October 22, 2014. Laroche was heard east along U.S. Highway 64, several miles northeast of Laverne, when he lost control for some reason.
His pickup truck, a black GMC, swerved into the oncoming lanes of U.S. 64 and clipped a passing semi-truck, then crashed into another pickup truck.
The collision between the two pickups was the most severe, the OHP said, and it caused a fire to start. Laroche was killed immediately in the accident, but Yauk was airlifted to a Kansas hospital for treatment.
At the last update on Thursday morning, Yauk was in critical condition. So far, it’s not clear why Laroche might have lost control of his truck that morning, but the OHP is gong to investigate some more.
