A 28-year-old Guthrie man, Nolan Anderson, was killed Saturday night after his vehicle left Interstate 40 and hit a bridge support, according to state troopers. The crash happened around 7:40 p.m. on I-40 west of the Kickapoo Turnpike, and investigators with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol say they still do not know what led up to the wreck.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol told KOKH that Anderson was traveling eastbound when his vehicle left the roadway and struck a bridge support, and that the investigation is ongoing. Troopers did not immediately release details about the vehicle, whether anyone else was inside, or what the roadway conditions were at the time.
Where the crash occurred
The wreck happened on a stretch of I-40 west of the Kickapoo Turnpike, a busy east-west corridor through the Oklahoma City area that has seen other serious collisions this winter. In February, a deadly I-40 crash near Sayre also drew troopers to the scene for hours as they worked to clear debris and investigate.
Investigation ongoing
Troopers with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol remain on the case and are working to determine why Anderson’s vehicle left the roadway, according to KOKH. Authorities typically release additional details as their investigations move forward and any toxicology or medical examiner findings come in. Anyone who may have witnessed the crash or has information about it is asked to contact OHP.
