Fiery Multi-Vehicle Crash in Oklahoma Forces Highway Closure, Injuries Reported
A fiery multi-vehicle crash led to several people being injured and rushed to hospitals as authorities shut down a major Oklahoma highway over the weekend, officials said.
The pileup happened on Sunday around 3 p.m. on the Turner Turnpike westbound near Post Road when two semi-trucks collided. The road’s westbound and eastbound lanes were blocked for hours as first-responders worked on the injuries at the crash.
Oklahoma Turnpikes noted that traffic heading westbound was being diverted to Kickapoo Turnpike, while eastbound traffic was diverted to Interstate 35. All lanes on the Turner Turnpike were reopened to traffic early Monday, local authorities said.
