In an update on a story from yesterday, a Guthrie woman has died from injuries she sustained in a two vehicle accident in Washita County on Friday evening.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 21-year-old Callie Lynn Cortez succumbed to her injuries on Saturday afternoon.
According to the OHP, the wreck happened right before 10 p.m. Friday when the 2017 Ford Escape driven by Cortez was traveling southbound on OK-44, while a 2016 GMC Sierra driven by 48-year-old Jackie Gay Aldridge of Sentinel was heading westbound on OK-152.
At the intersection of the highways, the Ford Escape failed to stop which resulted in the GMC Sierra crashing into it.
The report says that the Ford Escape rolled over one time and had Cortez pinned in the vehicle for about 15 minutes until officers from the Burn Flat Police Department were able to free her. The passenger 23-year-old Christopher Michael Cortez, was last listed to be in stable condition in an Oklahoma City hospital with a head injury.
The three people in the GMC Sierra, Aldridge along with 47-year-old Brandi Lynn Hamilton of Elk City and a 15-year-old female also from Elk City were treated and released from Great Plains Regional Medical Center.
