Via Owasso Police Department: On Wednesday, March 15th at 6:40PM Owasso Police, Fire and Medics responded to a reported rollover, single-vehicle collision on the northbound off-ramp of US169 at 96th Street North.
Callers advised the vehicle was laying on its top and was possibly on fire. Upon arrival of emergency services the vehicle was found to be smoking but not actually on fire. The off ramp was closed for the duration of the incident, approximately 45 minutes.
Owasso Fire quickly tended to the smoke as the medics located and treated 2 occupants of the vehicle. The occupants were treated and released, by medics, at the scene. Once the safety of the occupants was tended to and the vehicle was rendered safe from fire, police interviewed the occupants. Both the driver and passenger were found to be intoxicated. Witnesses to the event
described the vehicle in question to have been traveling at a high rate of speed in the inside lane of northbound 169 when it suddenly veered across the outside lane and attempted to take the off ramp, leaving the roadway left of the curb-line and flipped. The vehicle reportedly both flipped and spun around on its top coming rest in a drainage area between the off and on ramps to northbound US169.
Both occupants were placed under arrest for alcohol related offenses, transported to a local hospital to determine if they were medically fit for confinement and taken to the Owasso Municipal Jail. They were later transported to the Tulsa County Jail on district charges.
