TULSA, Okla. — The Tulsa Police Department has released dashcam video of a semi driving the wrong way on the Broken Arrow Expressway, offering a clearer look at what happened.
On Tuesday, videos and pictures surfaced of a semi driving the wrong way on the BA Expressway, but didn’t show what led up to the incident. On Thursday, TPD shared dashcam video from the semi’s perspective, which provided new insight.
The semi was headed westbound near 129th East Avenue when a car attempted to get into the semi’s lane, according to TPD. The semi then veered onto the snowy shoulder, which caused the trailer to jackknife and swing the cab in the opposite direction of traffic.
TPD said the semi drove eastbound in the wrong direction back to the ramp at 129th to get his trailer back behind his truck. No one was injured as a result of this incident.
Officers made contact with the driver of the Kia, who was cooperative. They said that they were unaware that they cut off the truck while changing lanes, according to TPD. Their information was documented in the report.
TPD shared the following reminder to drivers:
“As the snow melts, cold nights can lead to refreezing and slick conditions. We want to encourage all motorists to take caution, especially at night, as the unthawing continues across Tulsa!”
