TULSA, Okla — Two people are dead after a semi-truck crashed into a parked semi on I-44 near 165th East Ave. around 3:30 a.m. on Aug. 7.
Tulsa Fire Department's Andy Little said two people died in the crash, and one was transported to the hospital.
“This is a very serious, significant wreck," Little said.
Because of the contents of one of the semi trucks, the fire took hours to completely extinguish. Several fire departments responded, including the Rolling Hills Fire Department, who brought in a tanker to help put out the fire.
Security footage from Cisco Containers shows the moment the crash happened:
As of 11 a.m., the two lanes were reopened, but the on-ramp from 165th is still closed.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the crash.
This is a developing story.
