Caddo County, OK – A single-vehicle crash early Saturday morning in Caddo County claimed the life of a 19-year-old Calumet man, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

Pratt was pronounced deceased at the scene.

A passenger in the vehicle was injured in the crash. No additional details on the passenger’s condition were released.
