1 injured, 1 in custody following fiery crash on Will Rogers Turnpike near Vinita

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol responded to what it initially reported as a fatal crash on the Will Rogers Turnpike eastbound at the Vinita Exit.

According to troopers, the driver of the passenger car, identified as Nurbin Remigio Hernandez-Guzman, lost control and struck the semi, which drove off the overpass and exploded, with a portion of the truck hanging down onto US-60 in Vinita. At the time, OHP said this was a fatality crash but has since released new information, saying the driver had only minor injuries.

Vinita Police officers tracked the driver of the other car, who had run away from the crash, three hours later, finding him in a nearby creek bed.

Officers said he surrendered quickly and is in custody.

OHP will take over the investigation.

The Will Rogers Turnpike eastbound exit ramp to Vinita (MM 289) and US-60 under the Will Rogers Turnpike are now open, per OHP.
