A tragic accident occurred last week on Interstate 35 in Logan County, Oklahoma, when a box truck collided with an unoccupied Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) truck. According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the crash took place shortly before 2:20 p.m. on Thursday near State Highway 33. The box truck, driven by a 40-year-old man, struck the parked ODOT truck that was in a closed lane leading to a work zone. Authorities believe the driver of the box truck fell asleep at the wheel, leading to the fatal collision. A passenger in the box truck was killed in the crash, but their identity has not been released pending notification of their family.
