Elliott Binney faces charges following crash

KJRH reports reveal that Shelby Binney was not wearing a seat belt when the family's SUV crashed near 88th and 171st streets in Bixby. The crash ejected her from the vehicle, and, despite immediate rescue efforts, hospital authorities later pronounced her dead in a hospital.

Following the crash, Elliott Binney, the father, fled the scene. His wife, who remained at the scene, informed police that a heated argument had transpired between them moments before the crash.

Bixby Police Chief Todd Blish shared with FOX23,

"He walked to a family-owned business and retrieved a vehicle. We were able to track this vehicle electronically and ultimately made an arrest in the case."

As per 2 News, Bixby police officers found a bottle of vodka and several pill bottles with their labels ripped off in Binney's car. The Oklahoma dad later admitted that the family had purchased the liquor earlier in the night, and he had consumed several swigs before the crash.

However, Elliot Binney's blood alcohol content could not be tested since he fled the scene and he was apprehended several hours after the crash. Binney, upon being taken into custody, claimed that an oil slick caused him to skid and run off the road, as reported by Fox 23.

Witnesses claim they saw Binney, aged 41, driving at approximately 70 miles per hour and overtaking several cars in a no-passing zone just before the accident, according to authorities speaking to 2 News.
