OHP Responds To Injury Collision Involving An Overturned Cattle Truck

Oklahoma Highway Patrol is on the scene of an injury collision involving an overturned cattle truck north of I-240 on I-44.

Officers said all north bound lanes of the interstate are blocked, due to the overturned truck.

OKCFD said they estimate the truck was hauling 75 cattle, and eight to 10 of them escaped. Some of the cattle are injured and deceased on the truck.

Cattle have been reported to be loose on the interstate and city streets, officials said.
