Early Saturday morning, a devastating collision on State Highway 16 in Wagoner County claimed the life of a young motorist. According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, 20-year-old Gage Scott Wood of Muskogee tragically died from injuries sustained in the crash.
The fatal incident occurred around 3:07 a.m. on November 7 near 40th Street East. Investigators reported that Wood was traveling southbound when his vehicle crossed the centerline, resulting in a severe head-on collision with another vehicle. Troopers pronounced Wood dead at the scene, and his next of kin have been notified.
