Overturned Truck Blocks Lanes On The Turner Turnpike

A semi rolled over early Friday morning, blocking the eastbound lanes of the Turner Turnpike in Creek County.

The wreck happened at about 6:30 a.m. at the 203.8 mile marker, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. The OHP diverted traffic at Bristow.

The OHP had a construction crew use a large road grader to pull the tanker truck off the highway, then called in a large wrecker to try to lift it back onto its wheels.

It reopened the eastbound lanes at about 8 a.m.

The OHP is still investigating the cause of the crash. It hasn't released any information about any injuries.
