Longtime Oklahoma sportscaster Bob Barry Jr. died Saturday as the result of a two-vehicle crash in northwest Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma City police said the fatal wreck occurred about 4 p.m. near NW 142 and May Avenue.
Officers arrested the driver of the car that collided with Barry's motor scooter.
Gustavo Castillo Gutierrez, 26 was booked into Oklahoma County jail Saturday evening on complaints of manslaughter, making an illegal U-turn, causing an accident without a driver's license and possession of a controlled dangerous substance.
KFOR-TV confirmed Barry's death on Twitter and commemorated their former colleague during the 10 p.m. news broadcast.
"It is with deep sadness that we mourn the loss of our friend and (colleague) Bob Barry,Jr.," the news station reported.
“Bob loved his family, and he loved Oklahoma. We would just ask that everyone say a prayer for his wife Gina and his family at this difficult time,” KFOR News Director Carlton Houston said in an online story.
BBJ was a icon{as was his father} in the world of Oklahoma sportscasting and this happening right before Fathers day was a double whammy. Prayers go out to his wife and children during this difficult time.
