On Saturday night, January 17th, 2026, a tragic accident on northbound US-169 in Owasso, Oklahoma, forever changed the lives of many and left two families and an entire community grieving the heartbreaking loss of 43-year-old Terry Nathan Hindman of Nowata, Oklahoma, and his 18-year-old son, Jaxon Raidor Hindman of Copan, Oklahoma. At approximately 11:00 p.m., Owasso Police, Fire, and medical personnel were dispatched to the 9500 block of northbound US-169 following reports of a single-vehicle rollover collision involving the father and son.
When first responders arrived, they discovered a pickup truck lying on its side, having apparently rolled multiple times after leaving the roadway. Two occupants had been ejected during the crash. Witnesses later reported that the vehicle had been driving erratically, swerving back and forth moments before it exited the roadway and overturned. The severity of the scene prompted the closure of northbound US-169 from 11:00 p.m. until 3:00 a.m., with traffic diverted onto 86th Street North as Owasso Police Department collision reconstructionists carefully worked to document and investigate the incident.
Both Terry Nathan Hindman and Jaxon Raidor Hindman were rushed to metro hospitals, where, despite all efforts by medical teams, they tragically succumbed to their injuries. Authorities confirmed that death notifications were made to immediate family members, and an investigation remains ongoing to determine the circumstances that led to this devastating crash.
The loss of a father and son together is a sorrow that words can scarcely describe. Terry Nathan Hindman is remembered as a devoted father whose life was deeply rooted in love for his family. His guidance, presence, and strength shaped the life of his son and left a lasting impression on all who knew him. Jaxon Raidor Hindman, just 18 years old, stood at the threshold of adulthood, with dreams yet to be fulfilled and a future filled with promise. His youth, kindness, and potential made his loss especially painful for family, friends, classmates, and the broader community.
Together, Terry and Jaxon shared a bond that went beyond words—a bond of love, trust, and shared moments that will forever be treasured. Though their lives were tragically cut short, their legacy will live on through memories, stories, and the love they gave so freely.
As the investigation continues, the community pauses to mourn and reflect on the fragility of life. In this time of profound grief, we extend our deepest condolences to the Hindman family, friends, and all those affected by this tragedy. May comfort be found in shared memories, strength in unity, and peace in knowing that Terry Nathan Hindman and Jaxon Raidor Hindman will never be forgotten.
Our thoughts and prayers remain with their loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
