Wet Roads Lead To Several Crashes In The Tulsa Area

Rainfall across the Tulsa area has resulted in several crashes due to wet roads late Monday and early Tuesday. 

Just after 10:30 p.m., the Oklahoma Highway Patrol says a semi headed west on I-44 where it merges with I-244 in west Tulsa went off the highway and jack-knifed. 

Troopers said the semi's driver was going too fast at the time. The driver and a passenger were not injured. 

About an hour later, Tulsa Police say the driver of an Toyota 4-wheeler headed north on Yale lost control on a curve near 86th Street South and rolled the vehicle. Police said the driver was going too fast for conditions and he wasn't injured.

And about 2:30 a.m. Tulsa Police and the Tulsa Fire Department responded to a vehicle stranded in high water at a railroad underpass on North Lewis at Independence. 

Police said by the time emergency firefighters arrived a truck driver had pushed the stranded vehicle out of the high water. At last word the underpass was still closed to traffic in both directions.
