Adair County woman dies in Tuesday crash on US Highway 59 six miles south of Stilwell

Law enforcement officials in Adair County say a Stilwell woman died after a collision between her car and a truck in on Tuesday.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says Connie Clark, 52, of Stilwell died from injuries she sustained in the crash, which occurred just before 8 a.m. on U.S. 59 near Bethel Road, about 6½ miles south of Stilwell.

The OHP preliminary report released Wednesday says Clark’s 2010 Hyundai Elantra was southbound on the highway when it crossed the center line and struck a northbound 2019 Peterbilt.

Clark was taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where she died, the OHP reported. The truck driver was treated at the same hospital and released, according to troopers.
