So my brother-in-law (not one of the crazy ones) was in Oklahoma driving his tractor trailer and had a drunk plow into him head on (B-I-L is ok, drunk is dead). That's all I know, anyone in OK hear anything?

Apparently it happened around Big Cabin on 44. Her sister text a link to something about it but it doesn't work.

Just found something.
Guess it wasn't head on after all.
VINITA — A Carthage, Mo., man died in a wreck on the Will Rogers Turnpike Wednesday afternoon, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
About 4:20 p.m., Ethan Scott Giett, 23, was driving west in the eastbound lanes of the turnpike, about three miles west of Vinita in Craig County, when the vehicle struck the rear tire of a tractor-trailer on the rig's driver's side, went out of control and rolled down the embankment, according to a patrol report. Giett died at the scene, troopers said. The driver of the tractor-trailer was not hurt.

How are my fellow Okies doing. I moved about 2 months ago to the western panhandle of Nebraska. It's a small Town called Scottsbluff. I miss Moore OK but not my job. Hope everyone is doing good. I like the new scenery up here and there aren't many newer F150s. My truck sure does get a lot of looks and I've found broke bottles under my tires once but other than that it's all good. I think it's just a bunch of jealous kids.
