High winds on a gravel road caused reduced visibility and resulted in a two-vehicle accident on Wednesday afternoon in Osage County, leaving one in critical condition.

A fire truck was driving southbound on County Rd. 3660, approximately eight miles west of Pawhuska while another fire truck was traveling northbound when the two subjects hit head on. The driver of one of the trucks, Caleb Drummond, was ejected some 70 feet from the point of rest.

Drummond was taken to the St. John Medical Center in Tulsa where he was admitted in critical condition with head, trunk internal, arm and leg injuries. The driver of vehicle two, Ladd Drummond, refused treatment at the scene.

Officials say the two were battling a 200-acre grass fire on the Drummond Ranch before the accident occurred.
