A funeral has been scheduled for Thursday for a Choctaw County (Okla.) Sheriff's deputy who was killed in a collision on U.S. Highway 70 in southeastern Oklahoma, reports the Durant Daily Democrat.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 47-year-old deputy Brian Hayden was pronounced dead on arrival at a hospital in Hugo following the Thursday night crash near Soper. Dep. Hayden collided with a Choctaw tribal police vehicle driven by Choctaw Nation tribal officer Josiah Moore, who was hospitalized following the collision but is expected to recover.
