No this was family... a car was passing on a hill and hit Betty and Billy.

Texting isnt to blame for every single accident that happens on Oklahoma roadways, yea its stupid to do but there was wrecks long before texting became popular.

Pretty sure no one was texting.

No, It probably wasn;t texting more like young kids in fast cars that mommy and daddy probably bought them trying to be speed demons and pass the car ahead or its possible they knew the people in the car and thought it would be cute to get up beside them roll the windows down and bs who knows but these poor people are dead I feel sorry for the family I know anyone would be devastated!

shut up stupid with the mommy and daddy crap. you dont know these people or what really happened. keep your uninformed crap to yourself......

Of course, a 20 yr old kid caused this...kids today have too many other tasks going on when they should be driving. The driver training should be more intense, and raise the driving age...

all the things (higher speed limit, cell phones, cd player) we have now, we didn't have when the driving age was set. Need to raise it.

I happened upon this wreck about 15 minutes after it happened and waited over 1 1/2 hours for the road to be reopened. (It wasn't, so I found an alternate route home.) It is my understanding from someone who knew the family that was hit that two young men were racing and one of them hit the family head-on. Don't know this for a fact yet. It was very sad to see two life flight helicopters taking people away. It is very sobering to think it could have been me and my grandson if we had happened by a few minutes earlier.

The last time I talked to Billy was at the Cushing Walmart. He always spoke with pride of his family. We hung out together many years ago and he was always well liked. Rest In Peace man, you deserved better. Sincere condolences to the Family.

The Semler Family is in our prayers.

How tragic! My thoughts and prayers go out to both the families of this 20 year old man, and the family in the other car. That poor 15 year old kid I am sure he was related to the couple that was killed somehow. If he was not, He will be forever linked with them now.

I heard the mustang and a gold or yellow Firebird were racing

Quit making assumptions. You make an A S S out of yourself when you assume. Why do people have to be rude when commenting? Someone lost their famil/friends/loved ones...have some respect. MY prayers are with this family.

the yellow firebird was the one that came up onit and got the people out of the cars thank you get you fax right

I am so sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of all involved, and for the recovery of the two injured in this wreck.

Our prayers go out to the famiy. Prayers for the ones injured. I hope it was not a racing incident or a texting one
