A traffic accident on i-44 near the Broken Arrow Expressway created a large clean-up project for emergency crews and major traffic problems.

Around 7 PM Tuesday, a dump truck had a blowout and the driver lost control. The truck slammed into the center median and rolled over. That created a debris field of scrap iron across I-44.

The truck then burst into flames. Traffic was diverted for hours while crews cleaned up the mess. Amazingly, the driver walked away from the accident and no one else was hurt.
