OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Two airplanes crashed in southern Oklahoma in separate incidents but everyone on board the planes survived, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

The crashes occurred Saturday night about a half-hour apart within about 25 miles of each other. The first crash happened about 9:30 PM, when Harley Hollingsworth of Port Isabel, Texas, ran out of fuel while trying to fly a single-engine plane from the Ardmore Municipal Airport to the Ardmore Downtown Airpark in Carter County.

Hollingsworth was treated and released from a hospital.

About 10 PM, a single-engine, fixed-wing plane crashed as it tried to take off from a private airstrip near Marietta, in Love County. Four Texans survived that crash: pilot Terry Bobo of Azle; his wife, Sharon; and his uncle and aunt, Charles Ray "Chuck" Lackey and Jennifer Lynn Lackey.

"We're all pretty sore," Chuck Lackey said Sunday. "I feel like I went 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali."
