The northbound lanes of Highway 75 were completely reopened after a three hour clean up operation. Washington County Emergency Management Director Kary Cox reported that the roadway reopened at about 2:45 P.M. A cement mixer rolled in the right lane just before Road 3900 near Vera at about 11:40 A.M. on Monday. Oklahoma Highway Patrol and Washington County Emergency Management were on scene and getting the heavy truck upright took sometime. Crews also had to clean dirt and gravel off the roadway.

Newson6 reported that the driver was injured and flown to a Tulsa hospital and that it appears that the truck may have had a blown out tire.
