ATOKA COUNTY, Okla. (KFOR) – Authorities are investigating a crash that claimed the life of a Texas man.
Around 2:40 p.m. on Sept. 14, emergency crews were called to a crash along U.S. Hwy 69, 13 miles north of Stringtown.
Investigators say a 2020 Ram 3500 truck, driven by 35-year-old Jesus Zuniga, was heading southbound on Hwy 69.
For an unknown reason, the truck left the roadway to the left, hit a cable barrier, and then entered the northbound lanes. At that point, the truck was hit by a semi-truck before leaving the road and coming to rest.
The semi-truck rolled once before being hit by another semi-truck.
Zuniga was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
