HELENA, Okla. (AP) The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says an 83-year-old man is dead after crashing his car into a pasture while backing out of a driveway.

Troopers say Henry Boyd Dewitt of Helena likely suffered some type of medical condition as he was backing his car out of a private drive Sunday morning in Alfalfa County. A preliminary report says Dewitt's car accelerated as he was driving in reverse and his car crossed a county road, drove through a field and crashed into a farm structure before coming to rest in a pasture.

The cause of collision remains under investigation. No one else was injured.
