Barbara Homan and Antonio Ibanez, have been identified as two people killed in a fatal crash on the Turner Turnpike Tuesday evening. A man also involved in the incident, has since been arrested.
Following the deadly crash, Gurigbal Singh, 39, was taken to the hospital for a blood draw. He has since been arrested and booked into the Oklahoma County Jail on two counts of first-degree manslaughter.
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
