Drake Brooks was studying meteorology at University of Oklahoma

A young Evansville man was among three students who died in a traffic crash in Oklahoma. WNIN’s John Gibson has the story:

Officials say 22-year-old Drake Brooks was killed in the crash on Interstate 35 in northern Oklahoma.

Brooks and two other University of Oklahoma meteorology students were travelling back to the school after chasing a powerful tornado in Kansas.

Authorities say their vehicle hydroplaned on wet pavement and collided with a semi.

A Go Fund Me account has been opened to help the families of the three young victims.
