A 21-year-old Broken Arrow man is dead after a single-vehicle wreck on the Will Rogers Turnpike. Three men were

in westbound on the turnpike just east of Afton when their car crashed at 2:06 a.m.

Troopers say Dayton Wilson was a passenger in a 2010 Dodge Avenger driven by 26-year-old Zachary L. Wofford of Tulsa. Wofford apparently fell asleep, and the

Dodge hit the concrete barrier wall at mile marker 304, went north into a ditch and rolled three times before coming to rest on its wheels.

Wilson was pronounced dead at the scene with head injuries, according to a collision report by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

Wofford refused medical treatment, the report states. Another passenger, 24-year-old Heiu Nhut Nhan of Broken Arrow, was not injured.

All three men were wearing their seat belts and air bags did not deploy, the trooper's report states.
