OKLAHOMA CITY — A somber scene unfolded today on Interstate 44 in southwest Oklahoma City, where a rollover crash has claimed a life. According to police reports to KOCO 5, one person was tragically ejected from their vehicle and killed in the incident, which occurred near Southwest 89th Street.
Details surrounding the identity of the deceased and the cause of the crash are yet to be released as authorities continue their investigation. Sky 5 footage from above showed the wrecked vehicle entangled in a guardrail on the grassy median, painting a stark picture of the severity of the accident.
In the wake of this tragic event, both directions of I-44 are currently closed between Southwest 89th Street and Southwest 104th Street. Commuters should be aware of significant diversions: eastbound I-240 traffic at I-44 is being diverted to eastbound I-240, and westbound I-240 traffic heading towards westbound I-44 is being rerouted to eastbound I-44.
Our thoughts are with those affected by this heartbreaking incident. We will continue to monitor this developing story and provide updates as more information becomes available.
