An Oklahoma man apparently distracted by his iPod died after crashing his pickup into an oncoming vehicle in Caddo County.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says 21-year-old Robert Yackeyonny died Friday after the head-on collision on U.S. 62 south of Anadarko.
The patrol says Yackeyonny was westbound about 8:21 a.m. when he got distracted by his iPod, crossed the centerline and slammed into an oncoming pickup driven by 35-year-old Clint Courtney of Fort Cobb.
Yackeyonny died at the scene, and Courtney was treated for an arm injury at a local hospital and released.
The patrol says both men were wearing their seat belts.
