Three Collinsville teens injured in early morning fatality crash

A Claremore man was killed when he was thrown from a rolling pickup truck near Oologah Lake. Seth Darby Inman, 22, was one of five passengers in a truck that crashed at about 12:22 a.m. Saturday on County Road 340 at the Sunnyside Boat Ramp in Rogers County, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

19-year-old Hayden Elmore of Stroud was driving a Ford F150 on unpaved road and failed to negotiate a curve while going down a hill. The pickup ran off the side of the roadway, struck a guardrail then flipped over one time coming to rest on its wheels.

Inman, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected out of the vehicle while it was rolling and pronounced dead upon arrival at an Owasso hospital.

There were four other passengers in the vehicle. Beth Ann Riddle, 17, of Collinsville was pinned in the vehicle for about 40 minutes and freed by Northwest Fire Department using the jaws of life. She was treated and released at a Tulsa hospital. Owasso resident Dallas M. Bechkam, 16, was treated and released at a local hospital for head injuries. Sixteen-year-old Ryan K. Young of Collinsville was treated and released at a Tulsa hospital.Sixteen-year-old Jacob Jay Barton of Collinsville was treated and released at a Tulsa hospital.

The driver was uninjured.

The occupants of the truck were wearing safety belts except for Elmore and Riddle, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol report.

The Highway Patrol report lists the driver's condition at the time of the crash as apparently normal, and the reason for the crash as unsafe speeds on an unpaved road.

Collinsville Police Officer Wileman arrives in Houston today for cancer treatment

Collinsville Police Officer Andy Wileman and his wife Rebecca, an Owasso Police Communications Officer arrived in Houston today for Andy's first bout of treatment at MD Anderson Hospital. He was recently diagnosed with aggressive stage four melanoma.

This treatment has an 80% remission rate if he can survive the devastating effects of the “medicine”.  Unfortunately, his insurance will only go so far.  He will likely have as much as $100,000 in out of pocket costs.

Friends and family are joining with the community to give Andy a fighting chance at survival.  Officer Wileman has dedicated his life to serving and protecting others. This is your chance to help him.

A new website has been set up to keep everyone updated on Andy's condition, and informed on upcoming fund-raising activities. You can also make a donation to his medical fund directly from the website.  Visit :www.andywilemanbenefitfund.com.

Current fundraisers include:

• Oct 11 Chili’s Owasso – 10% sales go to Andy
• Oct 22 Sapulpa – FOP Golf Tournament for Andy 
• Oct 23 – Poker Run – Silver Dollar Café – Collinsville

All help is appreciated, whether it is a cash donation to the bank account set up in Andy’s name at the AMERICAN BANK OF OKLAHOMA in Collinsville , or a product or service donation to be offered as a door prize, raffle or auction item. Again thank you for supporting our cause and helping this family in need.

Collinsville City Commission Meeting Monday, Oct. 18

The bi-monthly Collinsville City Commission Meeting will be held on Monday, October 18,7pm at City Hall.

Historic farmhouse near Collinsville has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The Morrow Home Place, a historic farmhouse near Collinsville, is among 10 Oklahoma sites that have been added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Ten Oklahoma properties, including one in Collinsville, have been elevated to the National Register of Historic Places, the State Historic Preservation Office has announced.

Joining the Morrow Home Place, a farmhouse in Tulsa County, are the Moore Ranch in Nowata County and American Baptist Home Mission House in Tahlequah. Other area properties making the list are the White Cloud Lodge near Perkins and the Veterans Colony near Wilburton.

Listing in the National Register is an honorary designation that provides recognition, limited protection and, in some cases, financial incentives for the properties.

Typically, the State Historic Preservation Office identifies, evaluates and nominates properties for this special designation four times a year, Schwan said. She said 1,183 properties in Oklahoma are listed on the National Register.

The Morrow Home Place is the 72nd National Register listing in Tulsa County.

An example of some of the earliest settlement in the area, the 1½-story hall- and parlor-type house has remained virtually intact since its construction.

It was occupied by the Morrow Family since it acquired the land in 1912, and the changes reflect the long occupancy, according to the State Historic Preservation Office. A building type that once dominated the area's landscape, it has been supplanted by newer, bigger buildings.

into those shops lately.

Tickets for the crawl are on sale at American Bank of Oklahoma, Bank of the Lakes, RCB Bank at the Collinsville Downtown Inc. office on the northeast corner of 12th and Main.
