Pauls Valley — Changes to an Oklahoma Highway Patrol report now has a different Pauls Valley man’s name listed as possibly being involved in a fatality accident last week.
The new name is Kevin W. Baker, 23, who is listed as the driver in a one-vehicle accident late Thursday night south of Sulphur that claimed the life of an Ada woman.
The initial OHP report received by the Daily Democrat on Friday afternoon listed the name of another Pauls Valley resident, Kevin L. Wallace, 39, which was included in a story for the May 3 weekend edition of the PVDD.
A few hours later and after the PVDD press time, two other reports were received with both including Baker’s name as the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident.
Known for sure is the fact Jennifer Bohanan, 35, was killed in the accident.
It came only minutes before midnight on April 30 at a site about five miles south and one mile west of Sulphur.
The most recent OHP report lists Baker as the driver of a 2004 Ford Explorer as it traveled westbound on a Murray County road.
According to troopers, the driver was unable to negotiate a curve to the right as it went off the roadway to the left striking several trees before it came to rest approximately 65 feet from the edge of the roadway.
Those same troopers also believe Baker was under the influence of alcohol as he was driving the vehicle.
They continue to report the driver did flee the scene on foot after the accident.
Bohanan was one of four other individuals in the vehicle.
She was first taken by Murray County E.M.S. to Arbuckle Memorial Hospital in Sulphur, where a medical examiner’s official pronounced her dead from trunk internal and head injuries.
Two other passengers, Ada residents Terry M. Guinn, 22, and Sherie Wallace, 18, were both later treated and released from the same Sulphur hospital.
A fourth passenger, Runelle Deaton, 33, of Davis was treated and released from Mercy Memorial Hospital in Ada.
Investigating the wreck site were troopers from the Garvin/Murray County Detachment. Assisting were Sulphur and Dougherty firefighters and Murray County deputies.
