Golf Cart With No Lights Hit From Behind in Fatal Muskogee County Crash

A golf cart traveling without lights on an Oklahoma highway was struck from behind Sunday night, killing the couple riding in it, state troopers reported.

John Head and Dawn Head, of Porum, were heading south on State Highway 2 in Muskogee County after 9:30 p.m. when a southbound vehicle that had traveled from East 303rd Street South hit the cart in the rear. The cart overturned onto its side off the road.

Both occupants were thrown from the cart and died from the impact, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. The occupants of the other vehicle reported no injuries.

Troopers cleared the collision scene later that evening. The Highway Patrol investigates crashes on state highways across Oklahoma and submits its findings on fatal incidents — including roadway factors — for official records.

The stretch of State Highway 2 where the crash occurred runs through rural Muskogee County communities like Porum.
