OTTAWA COUNTY, Okla. - A 21-year-old Broken Arrow man was killed in a one-car accident on the Will Rogers Turnpike in Ottawa County early Sunday.

Dayton Wilson, a passenger in the car, died at the scene from a head injury.  A second passenger was uninjured.

The driver refused treatment at the scene.

    There's no question the level of devastation Moore residents have seen.  Not once, not twice, but three times tornadoes have disrupted life for the Oklahoma City suburb. Still, residents' spirits are anything but destroyed.  They've been through this before.
