There were two fatal accidents in southeastern Oklahoma on Friday.
Shortly before 2 p.m., a woman died after failing to stop at the intersection of US 70 and State Highway 271 between Hugo and Soper in Choctaw County.
Investigators said the woman's vehicle hit a Choctaw County deputy. She died at the scene; the deputy was airlifted to a hospital in Plano, Texas.
Neither victim has been named.
Earlier, state troopers said a motorcyclist died after a van pulled out in front of it while making a turn on US 70 east of Broken Bow, near the Mount Fork River Bridge in McCurtain County.
The name of the driver was not released.
