Mary Patricia Kidd of Sallisaw died in the crash.

The truck driver wasn't hurt.

Investigating troopers aren't sure if seat belts were in use in the Chevrolet or not, the collision report states. Kidd was in apparently normal condition at the time of the wreck. OHP says the wreck was caused by unsafe speed on a wet roadway.
