Oklahoma – Two individuals are fortunate to have survived a semi-truck rollover early Friday morning on the ramp from I-44 to northbound I-35 in Oklahoma City.
The crash occurred around 5:00 a.m. when the semi overturned, trapping both the driver and passenger inside the cab for approximately two hours.
Emergency responders from the Oklahoma City Fire Department successfully extricated the victims, who were then transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The northbound lanes of I-35 remained closed for several hours as crews worked to clear the wreckage and reopen the roadway.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers believe that unsafe speed was the primary factor contributing to the crash. The incident remains under investigation.
Authorities continue to urge drivers to exercise caution and adhere to posted speed limits, especially on highway ramps and curves where conditions can change rapidly.
