VINITA, Okla. (AP) A motorist who fled from a state trooper on the Will Rogers Turnpike was killed when he was ejected from his wrecked car.
An Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper was chasing 42-year-old Lamont Rainwater of Lawton on Thursday when the wreck occurred.
The Oklahoman reports that the man's wife, Debra Rainwater, says her husband had retired after a 20-year military career that included two tours in Iraq. Debra Rainwater said her husband was on the turnpike because they were considering a move to land between Tulsa and Joplin, Missouri.
Investigators say they don't know why Rainwater decided to flee.
