A late night accident on I-44 claims the life of a Bartlesville man.

 

 30-year-old Matthew Boyer failed to negotiate a curve on eastbound I-44 near midnight last night and collided with a barrier. The collision caused his 2004 GMC Sierra to overturn and come to rest on its roof.

 

Emergency responders from Pafford EMS arrived on the scene and pronounced Boyer deceased due to the severe injuries sustained in the crash. The driver was pinned inside the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes before emergency personnel could free him.
