Tahlequah man one of two killed in crashes

A Tahlequah man died Friday after a motorcycle wreck in Sequoyah County, and a southeastern Oklahoma man was killed Thursday night when he was struck by a car.

Dead are Kenneth Peachey, 59, of Tahlequah and Nickolous Deon Ransom, 24, of Grant.

Peachey died about 1:40 p.m. at St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa, where he was taken after his 2007 Harley-Davidson motorcycle crashed about 11:30 a.m. nine miles north of Vian, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

He and a passenger had been riding south on Oklahoma 82 when the motorcycle ran off the road on a curve and rolled, the OHP said. Troopers said neither was wearing a helmet.

The passenger, Carolyn Sue Long, 65, also of Tahlequah, was taken in good condition to a Tahlequah hospital, the OHP reported. read more
