NOWATA, Okla., Sept. 9 (UPI) -- A wickedly powerful Oklahoma storm destroyed a mobile home, killing three people, and flipped a tractor-trailer rig, killing the driver, authorities said.

Two older adults and a child died when the storm hit their Nowata County mobile home Friday evening and the trucker died in Ottawa County, the Tulsa World reported.

The victims killed in the mobile home had not been identified. The state highway patrol identified the truck driver was Jimmy Carl King, 70, of Ash Grove, Mo., the newspaper said.
