XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx OKMULGEE, Okla. - A car traveling at high speeds overturned and burst into flames when a tire blew out Saturday, killing two teenagers who were trapped inside, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said. The driver, Christopher Troy Fuller, 16, of Okmulgee, and a passenger, Kendon Larue, 15, of Okmulgee, were pronounced dead at the scene, troopers said. They were pinned in the vehicle for about two hours and were burned beyond recognition, according to the patrol. Two other teens were thrown from the vehicle as it repeatedly overturned and were both admitted to area hospitals in fair condition, troopers said. The fiery one-vehicle crash occurred at 12:18 p.m. in Okmulgee when the right front tire blew out while the 1970 Ford Mustang the teens were in was traveling at what troopers said was a "very high rate of speed." The vehicle careened off the roadway, struck a railroad crossing sign and a fence before overturning about four times, coming to rest on its top. The vehicle caught fire and burned completely, the patrol said. Troopers said none of the car's occupants was wearing seat belts.
