UPDATE:

According to Oklahoma Highway Patrol, all lanes and exit ramps have been reopened.

The westbound Vinita exit on the Will Rogers Turnpike and U.S. Highway 60 near the turnpike are closed following a fatality accident involving a large truck.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says either a semi-truck or a box-truck drove off the turnpike overpass at the Vinita exit and exploded at around 11:15 a.m. Thursday. A portion of the vehicle is on the turnpike and another portion is on Highway 60.

Eight members of the highway patrol are on-scene for investigation and clean-up. There is not an estimated time of reopening both highways at this time.
