WILBURTON, Okla. (AP) _ An emergency medical technician has died of injuries suffered when the ambulance she was riding in crashed on an icy highway in southeastern Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says Janez Case of Clayton died at a Fort Smith, Arkansas, hospital this morning after being injured about 8 Wednesday night in the crash on State Highway 1 in Latimer County.

The driver and the patient are hospitalized in Talihina and a third passenger in the ambulance was not injured.
