PAULS VALLEY, Okla. (AP)—Oklahoma wide receiver Corey Wilson has been critically injured in a rollover collision on Interstate 35.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says the 20-year-old from Carrollton, Texas, was flown in critical condition with head and internal injuries to OU Medical Center after the crash about 1 p.m. Friday near Pauls Valley. A hospital spokesman says Wilson’s family asked that his condition not be released.
The patrol says Wilson was southbound on I-35 when his Chevrolet Trailblazer collided with a pickup, ran off the road and rolled twice, throwing him about 45 feet from the vehicle.
A sophomore, Wilson is the younger brother of former OU wide receiver standout Travis Wilson.
The OHP reports Wilson was not wearing his seat belt.

Sad, really sad. You always wonder why kids don't wear their seat belts. They won't keep you from getting hurt, but they may keep you from more serious injuries. I guess it's part of the "it won't happen to me" complex most of them have, especially the athletes.
