A 2019 Harley-Davidson, driven by Daniel Patrick, 36, of McAlester, was also involved in the accident, according to the OHP. He refused medical treatment at the scene.

His wife, Taylor Patrick, 28, of McAlester, a passenger on the motorcycle, was admitted to St. Francis Tulsa Hospital in stable condition with trunk internal and external injuries.

Beverly Monks, 68, of Eufaula, driver of the 2017 Nissan, was not injured.

Eufaula firefighters were among several agencies who responded to the accident.

“When we arrived at the crash scene two motorcycles were on the northwest side of the highway in the ditch along with the passengers that had been ejected,” said Eufaula Fire Chief Chad French.

A third motorcycle, driven by Anglet, was on the northeast side of the highway.

“CPR was in progress on him, and he was revived,” French said.

First aid was being administered to all the victims who were involved until EMS arrived on the scene.

The Nissan was still in the middle of the highway when the firefighters arrive.

The driver of the car was treated at the scene for minor injuries and released, French said.

“We had to shut down State Highway 9 East going to the Longtown/ Bower area because one lane was blocked and there was debris all over the roadway,” he said.

“We also had to keep it shut down so we could land the medical helicopters on scene closest to the patients because of the severity of their injuries.

“After the patients were taken to the hospital, the highway had to remain closed so that the investigators could gather all the information they needed to determine what happened.”

Four medical helicopters landed on the highway, three at the same time.

“Once we had the patients loaded on those three helicopters, we landed the fourth.”

All patients were alive when they left the crash site on the medical helicopters.

“Sadly, we learned the next morning from Oklahoma Highway Patrol that one of the male riders had passed away,” French said.

French issued a warning.

“During this time of year there are a lot of motorcycles on the road due to the cooler weather. Be aware and pay attention to your surroundings on the roadway,” he said.

There were multiple agencies at Saturday’s scene.

“We could not have done it without the help of every agency involved. Thank you to all agencies for your help in getting the patients the treatment and help they needed,” French said.

Among the agencies involved at the scene were Eufaula Fire Department, #9 Fire Department, Eufaula Police Department, Mc-Intosh County Sheriff ’s Department, Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Community EMS, Pafford EMS, Checotah EMS and all the medical helicopter services, Air Care, Tulsa Life Flight and Survival Flight.
