Two teenagers were hospitalized this weekend after they tried to run over a coyote with their truck.
The two 17-year-olds were driving a pickup truck on Old State Highway 88 in Rogers County on Sunday night.
They saw a coyote running in the field of a sod farm and drove into the field to run over the animal, according to a report from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
The investigating OHP trooper said the coyote took "evasive action" to get away from the truck. The driver turned the vehicle sharply in an attempt to follow the animal causing it to roll over one time.
