The vehicle being pursued continued to flee, however, the driver was taken into custody later in the night and charged in connection with the incident.

Lieutenant Meyer was transported to the University of Oklahoma Medical Center, where he remained until succumbing to his injuries.

Lieutenant Meyer had served with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol for 12 years. He is survived by his wife and two daughters.
