ROGERS COUNTY -- A Rogers County man went fishing and didn't come home.

According to a report by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, 57-year-old Robert Robison left his house near Keetonville Tuesday evening on his four-wheeled utility vehicle, going to a pond to fish.

When he didn't come back, his family got worried and started looking for him. They found his body at the bottom of a steep hill north of Highway 20 just before noon Thursday.

Investigators believe Robison lost control of the 2005 Kawasaki Mule after driving on a path that was washed out. His vehicle hit an embankment, and Robison was thrown about 30 feet. He died at the scene of head injuries.

He was not wearing a safety belt.
