In their report, troopers said Matthew Ray of Chanute, Kansas was southbound in a 1999 Chevy pickup when he crossed the center line and hit a northbound 2003 Nissan Maxima driven by Nowata resident Barbara Stewart.

Stewart, 37, and Ray, 41, both died at the scene. The OHP report states both drivers were wearing seat belts.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is still investigating the crash.
