Interstate 44, the Turner Turnpike, was forced to shut down Sunday afternoon in both directions in east Oklahoma City because of a pileup involving multiple vehicles caused by the ice and snow unleashed by Winter Storm Uri.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported that two semitrailer tractors, an SUV and another vehicle were involved and that two of the semis caught fire. Several people were taken to the hospital, a reporter for KOKH tweeted.
