Kruse says, "It's fallen between two big i-beams and it's just wedged there now.

Crews arrived with a wrecker and lowered the truck to the ground.

MIAMI, Okla. (AP) - Attorneys say a plea deal could be in the works for the 77-year-old driver of a tractor-trailer that slammed into a line of stopped cars on a turnpike in northeastern Oklahoma last June, killing 10 people.

Ottawa County District Attorney Eddie Wyant said Monday he has been negotiating with driver Donald Creed's attorney, ``trying to come to resolution on the case.''

Creed's attorney, Paul Brunton of Tulsa, wasn't available Monday. Brunton told The Oklahoman he had spoken with Wyant ``and things are going very well.''

Wyant says he doesn't know when a deal might be finalized.

Creed, from Willard, Mo., is charged with 10 misdemeanor counts of negligent homicide and has pleaded not guilty. Brunton says Creed retired from Kansas City, Kan.-based Associated Wholesale Grocers, for which he was driving, shortly after the accident.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Authorities say parts of U.S. 75 and Interstate 244 were closed in Tulsa after a semi truck hauling 78,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate fertilizer tumbled off an off-ramp, spilling all its contents.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol Lt. George Brown says the truck was exiting Interstate 244 just before 5 p.m. when it went off the ramp onto U.S. 75.

Brown says the only hazard from the white-pellet fertilizer was to those cleaning up the spill. He says motorists were diverted off the highways and a nearby business was told to shut its bay doors to prevent any dust from getting inside.

He says the driver was walking around when troopers arrived. There were no other reports of injuries.

The roads were reopened by 6:30 p.m.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The governor and legislative leaders are nearing a final agreement on closing a hole in this year's budget that would include funding to prevent trooper furloughs.

Officials say the details of the agreement could be announced as early as Thursday.

State Rep. Randy Terrill, who chairs a budget subcommittee in the House, says the deal will include about $3 million to prevent furloughs at the Department of Public Safety.

Democratic Gov. Brad Henry and GOP leaders in the House and Senate announced a deal last month that would provide supplemental funding for education, health care and prisons and maintain agency budget cuts at 10 percent for the rest of the fiscal year.

The patrol says Rogers' body was found about 11:30 p.m. Feb. 11 near the shoulder of the highway.

OHP spokesman Lt. George Brown says investigators initially thought she was a victim of an auto-pedestrian hit-and-run, then considered that she might have been a homicide victim who was killed elsewhere and the body staged to look like a hit-and-run.

Brown says investigators are hoping someone will come forward with information about who is responsible for Rogers' death.

Kruse says, "Troopers said that cable barriers have been criticized for their cost but was well worth it this time because it kept a semi upright and from crossing into the eastbound lanes." Kruse says, later, two people were hospitalized after a rear-end collision on Highway 75 near the Arkansas River bridge. That's when a pickup truck that was driving under the speed limit because of the rain was hit by another pickup. He says none of the injuries were considered to be serious.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A state senator has filed a bill that would allow audio and video recordings of the Department of Public Safety to be made public.

The bill by Sen. Jim Wilson, a Tahlequah Democrat, would amend the Oklahoma Open Records Act to include the recordings, which now do not fall under the definition of a ``record.''

Wilson says releasing the recordings would provide the public more transparency into the actions of the agency, of which the Oklahoma Highway Patrol is a part.

Wilson cited a recent case involving a confrontation between an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper and a Creek Nation paramedic. In that case, the OHP initially refused to release video from the trooper's dashboard camera but later relented and made the video public.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol Lieutenant George Brown says the trooper had ordered Christopher Harrell to be handcuffed but he would not do it.
