Storms that barreled through the I-40 corridor in Western Oklahoma caused travel problems in Beckham County Sunday night and early Monday morning.

Fortunately there were no injuries reported.

The first occurred at 7:20p.m. when a semi rollover accident in the eastbound lanes blocked both lanes for just over an hour near mile marker 23.

A separate accident, this time in the westbound lanes at the 39 mile marker, saw two semis collide that caused the roadway to be blocked at 11:15p.m. OHP says the lanes were closed for just over 6 hours due to that mishap.
