According to the collision report provided by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the accident occurred at 1:47 a.m. 19-year-old Lake Wimberly was north bound on OK-6 4.4 miles south of Elk City when, for an unknown reason, the 2005 Chevy Silverado he was driving departed the road to the right, over corrected to the left, and began to roll.
