Oklahoma WR Wilson critically injured in crash

Sophomore suffers head and internal injuries in rollover collision

PAULS VALLEY, Okla. - 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.
