The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says a suburban van carrying Daniel Webster High School students crashed on Monday, killing at least one person.
Troopers say the students were headed back to Tulsa from a school trip when the suburban van they were riding in crashed with a semi-truck on the Turner Turnpike.
OHP says seven people were riding in the SUV, and some were students, but they cannot confirm yet if a student was the fatality.
Lt. Mark Southall with OHP tells KRMG there were seven people in the SUV, and only the driver in the semi-truck.
“We don’t know how the collision took place at this time. We are still in the early stages of the investigation,” Southall said.
Several people in the SUV were injured and taken to area hospitals. A few of the students were trapped and had to be extricated. There was an ejection, and one person was pronounced dead at the scene.
OHP continues to investigate the cause of the crash.
