Multiple Wrecks Back Up Traffic On Muskogee Turnpike

Two wrecks backed up traffic in the westbound lanes of the Muskogee Turnpike Friday morning.

Troopers said the first wreck happened at about 7:40 a.m. near 241st East Avenue. The wrecks happened in the construction zone where traffic is down to one lane in each direction already.

While the OHP worked to clear that wreck, a semi hit a barrier to the east of the first crash.

Troopers struggled to get a large wrecker to the scene to remove the semi.

The OHP re-opened the highway at about 9:45 a.m.
