Two Pittsburg County men were injured in a single-vehicle accident on Sunday.

Jonathan Tubby, 23, of Canadian, and Michael Ricketson, 32, of Indianola, were transported to the McAlester Regional Health Center following the accident, said the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

Tubby was reported in stable condition with head injuries, while Ricketson was reported in stable condition with arm and internal trunk injuries, the highway patrol said.

The accident occurred at 3:40 p.m., 7.5 miles north of McAlester on State Highway 113.

Tubby was driving northbound in a 1999 Ford Explorer when the vehicle ran off the roadway to the right, was overcorrected, and then ran off the roadway to the left, the highway patrol said.

The vehicle overturned and rolled approximately three times before coming to rest on its top, according to the highway patrol. Tubby was ejected an unknown distance, the highway patrol said.

Seat belts were equipped, but not in use, according to the highway patrol.

Trooper Garrett Grey of Troop D OHP headquarters in McAlester investigated the accident.
