According to the collision report provided by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the wreck occurred just before 9p.m. Thursday in the westbound lanes of Interstate 40 near mile marker 74 – 9 miles east of Clinton when 33-year-old Cameron W. Whiteley departed the road to the right for an unknown reason, over corrected, and departed the road to the left. Troopers said the 1993 Chevy Suburban would strike the cable barrier before rolling an undetermined amount of times, ejecting the driver.
