MARY LYNETTE FIELDS
July 1, 1957 ~ August 3, 1992
STRING OF ACCIDENTS CLAIMS ONE LIFE, HURTS MANY
A string of injury accidents, including one fatality, kept lawmen and emergency rescue workers hopping in recent days.
Prosecutors are preparing negligent homicide charges today against a Texas man involved in a collision Monday on fog-shrouded U.S. 70. The accident claimed the life of Mary Lynette Fields, 35, of Millerton. She is the daughter-in-law of Sheriff Bo Fields.
According to Oklahoma Highway Patrol reports, Fields died at the scene of the two-car collision. The extreme impact caused a fracture to the rear of her head, and affected the portion of the brain which controls breathing, investigators indicted.
Lawmen say her 1988 Chevrolet van was eastbound on U.S. 70 four and one-half miles west of Idabel when it collided left front to left front with a westbound 1989 Ford attempting to pass another vehicle.
Idabel firemen using the Jaws-of-Life extrication tool freed the driver of the Ford, Donald Lynn Leatherwood, 29, of Bloomburg, Texas, who was pinned in the wreckage of his vehicle for slightly over an hour.
Leatherwood is reported to be in stable condition at McCurtain Memorial Hospital where he is being treated for leg, foot, and facial injuries.
Asststant District Attorney Walter Hamilton said today charges are being prepared against Leatherwood for allegedly speeding and passing in unsafe conditions.
