According to the Turnpike Authority, around Noon on Sunday, a crash involving multiple semi-trucks collided with an OG&E power pole, draping lines across all lanes of the highway.
A high voltage power line was pulled down across Turner TP & remains entangled in the semi. The line requires special equipment to remove, which is en route. Crews are working with the @OKTurnpike @OGandE @OHPDPS @OHPtraffic to resolve this issue as quickly and safely as possible
