Five Dead in Oklahoma City Truck Crash
Five people were killed in an Oklahoma City auto accident involving a collision between a car and a semi truck. According to The Associated Press, the fatal truck accident occurred at Interstate 235 and I-35 near the junction with I-40 in Oklahoma City. Officials say the five fatally injured victims were in a Chevrolet Camaro that veered out of control and went under a truck’s trailer. The roof was sheared off, the vehicle spun out of control, and the car caught fire. Officials are still investigating the cause of this fatal crash.
Underride crashes are some of the most devastating Oklahoma truck accidents. This type of accident occurs when a car crashes into the back or side of a trailer and goes underneath the trailer. These crashes are often devastating because the height of cars makes them vulnerable to going completely or partially under the trailer resulting in the roof of the vehicle being sheared off. Victims involved in this type of collision have been known to suffer devastating and frequently fatal injuries.
