Marlow woman killed in fiery crash

A Marlow woman has been killed in a fiery one-car crash north of Addington in northern Jefferson County.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 42-year-old Tammie Lynn Lorenzen died in the accident just after 7:30 Sunday night.

Troopers say Lorenzen was northbound on U.S. 81 when her car went off the highway and traveled nearly 480 feet before hitting a tree and catching fire.

Investigators say Lorenzen was trapped inside the burning vehicle.

In another weekend accident, a 20-year-old man is dead following a single-vehicle crash in Osage County.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says Kyle Leon Morgan of Ralston was killed in Saturday night's crash.

The crash occurred at 11:20 p.m. on Oklahoma Highway 18 about one mile north of Ralston. Troopers say the victim was a passenger in a southbound pickup truck that ran off the road and repeatedly rolled over before coming to rest on its top.

The victim was ejected through the passenger rear door. The driver and a second passenger were hospitalized in stable condition.

The patrol says the victim wasn't wearing a seat belt.
