At Least 1 Dead After Fiery Crash On I-40 Near Hinton

At least one person is dead following a fiery wreck on eastbound Interstate 40, near Hinton, Oklahoma, Wednesday afternoon.

The crash has forced authorities to shut down all lanes of EB I-40. Authorities say a semi and a car were involved in the crash, near mile marker 106 on EB I-40, just to the east of Hinton, in western Canadian County on a bridge over the Canadian River.

A witness said the semi rear-ended the car, which then burst into flames.
