Fatal Accident Oklahoma Highway, Nearly Caused The Death Of An 84-year-old driver: An Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper was engaged in a head-on collision at a construction site south of Stillwater on Friday. Officer Brian Rose was hit by an automobile while he was watching the construction site on Highway 177, according to officials from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. There was no sign of his car. It looked as though he had banged his head on something. After witnessing the scene, Brandon Payton stated, “He was holding his head.”
The 84-year-old driver who had crossed three lanes of traffic struck Rose’s car, the police said. The 42-year-old trooper assisted with traffic flow during the accident while working a construction shift. “An elderly man was pinned inside the vehicle,” Payton clarified. “Because the airbags were deactivated, they had difficulty extracting him. To release him, we had to break the window. “In the previous week, the street was paved, he said to KOCO 5.
The road is devoid of markings and lines. There are no real barriers in place,” said Payton. “He’s been sitting in the median helping with the flow of traffic, for safety reasons.” Rose’s examination and the driver’s were headed to Stillwater Medical Center. Both of them did not have injuries that would have resulted in death, according to Oklahoma Highway Patrol officials.
