Homan, 53, and Ibanez, 44, were traveling on the Turner Turnpike in Luther, OK., when they reduced their speed and were violently rear ended by Singh who was operating an 18-wheeler. The impact caused the automobile to strike another vehicle that was ahead.
Capt. Paul Timmons with OHP says the driver of a semi, identified as 39-year-old Gurigbal Singh, did not slow down and hit the rear of a vehicle, causing that vehicle to hit the rear of another vehicle. Two people were killed in the crash. Officials say those two people, identified as 53-year-old Barbara Homan and 44-year-old Antonio Ibanez, were in the same vehicle. A man driving another vehicle involved in the crash was transported to the hospital in fair condition. source
