Just a reminder - do not call 911 or any dispatch for road closings! Our dispatchers are having a hard time keeping up with everything else they need to do because of these calls. The most up to date road closure information can be found at https://t.co/ueH7zoaZl3.
A very scary ordeal for this 18 year old driver last Friday night on the Muskogee Turnpike. She failed to yield to a semi while merging onto the highway, hit it and went spinning out of control. She is ok. This is her own dash cam video.
Atoka County: Oklahoma Dept. of Transportation is making improvements to the intersection of US-69 @ Fred’s Fish Camp road in Stringtown. The work is to increase the turning radius to improve efficiency of the intersection Please watch your speed through this area.@OHPtraffic

DASH CAM VIDEO: This past Saturday during the storms, a teenage driver almost sideswiped Trooper Timothy Parrish #373's vehicle on the Muskogee Turnpike. Driver was going too fast for the weather conditions. A good reminder to always slow down and #MoveOver. No one was injured.
