TAHLEQUAH DAILY PRESS — PEGGS – An investigation was still pending Saturday into the cause of a crash that sent six people to the hospital Friday morning.

Jennifer Ellen Nofsinger, 34, Abigail Thibodaux, 11 and Allison Nofsinger, 4, were all eventually transferred to St. Francis Hospital. Jennifer was transported by Eagle Med to the Tulsa hospital and was admitted in stable condition with a head injury.

Allison was in good condition with a head injury and Thibodaux was in good condition with a leg injury. Both children were initially taken to Tahlequah City Hospital.

The Nofsingers are Pryor residents and Thibodaux is from Chouteau.
