BENNINGTON, Okla. (AP) — A pregnant woman and her unborn daughter have been killed in a Bryan County crash.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 21-year-old Shawnlynn Pool of Hugo died in the crash on U.S. 70 at near Bennington about 4 p.m. Wednesday.

The Oklahoman reports the victim was a passenger in a pickup truck driven by a 24-year-old Hugo man.

A 37-year-old man was driving a pickup truck westbound on U.S. 70 when he went left of center and struck the vehicle driven by the 24-year-old man in the eastbound lane on the passenger side.

Patrol reports that Pool's infant daughter was delivered at a Durant hospital but was pronounced dead.
