A Skiatook teenager fights for his life. He was critically injured in a traffic accident in northern Tulsa County.

17-year old Jeremy Ervin was with seven other friends when they were involved in the accident a week and a half ago outside of Skiatook near 176th Street North and Peoria.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says the driver lost control and rolled the vehicle. Two of the teens in the accident are still in the hospital. Jeremy's in critical condition.

Jeremyâ€™s mother Beth Ervin: "It's real hard I want to hear his voice I want em to talk to me. He's always been so strong and I just want em to talk to em and I know he wont give up and we're not gonna give up."

The Ervin family is not only dealing with the emotional stress of Jeremy's condition, but financial stress. For now, the Ervinâ€™s and others are just hoping and praying this son, brother, and friend will be all right.
