The vehicle then struck a road sign before coming to rest on the roadside.

Mallory was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital by Rush Springs EMS. He was transferred to OU Medical Center by Chickasha EMS where he was admitted with trunk, internal and heal injuries. He was listed in fair condition.
