The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says a driving under the influence crash on Highway 60 east of Pawhuska late Tuesday sent five to the hospital.
Troopers say the rollover crash involving a 1999 Toyota 4 Runner happened just after 8:30 p.m.
In their report, the OHP identified the SUV's driver as 45-year-old Nicklaus Perryman of Pawhuska.
The report states there were five passengers in the westbound SUV when it went off the highway. Troopers said after leaving the road, the driver overcorrected causing the vehicle to roll an unknown number of times.
One passenger, Dayton Curry of Wynona, was flown by medical helicopter to a Tulsa hospital after being partly ejected from the SUV and pinned in the wreckage. He was said to be stable with head and other injuries.
The driver and passengers Brian Thomas Caughey of Pawhuska; Heather Marie Giovinazzo of Bartlesville, and Jessica Shantel Valdez of Bartlesville were taken to a Bartlesville hospital where they were treated and released.
Another passenger refused medical treatment.
Troopers say everyone but Curry was wearing a seat belt.
The crash closed the Osage County highway in both directions for a short time.
