WISTER, Okla. — An eastern Oklahoma deputy sheriff has been killed in a two-car collision in LeFlore County.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 28-year-old Latimer County Deputy Dustin Duncan of Cameron died in the crash on U.S. Highway 270 near Wister just before 6 Monday morning.

Troopers say Duncan was eastbound in his patrol car when he crossed the center line of the highway and crashed into a pickup truck driven by Brannon Oden of Cedarville, Arkansas.

Oden was treated and released at a Fort Smith hospital.

Troopers say the cause of the accident is still under investigation.
