An Elgin teenager was injured in a one-vehicle accident early Monday morning near Fort Cobb.

Jesse Hefley, 18, was driving east on Caddo County Road 1325 in a 2016 Mazda 3, according to an Oklahoma Highway Patrol report. The car went off the right side of the road and struck a bridge guardrail, coming to rest in a creek.

Hefley was taken to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City, where he was admitted in fair condition with head and internal trunk injuries, according to the report.

His passenger, 19-year-old Samuel Lankister of Fort Cobb, was airlifted to OU Medical Center. Lankister was admitted in fair condition with head and internal trunk injuries.

Lankister was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday, and Hefley was not listed as a patient, a hospital spokeswoman said Wednesday.

Hefley and Lankister were both wearing seat belts when the crash occurred, according to the report.
