Winter Storm Causes Widespread Accidents in Oklahoma

Severe winter weather caused hazardous travel conditions across Oklahoma, leading to numerous accidents, including a notable crash involving a semi-truck carrying eggs on the Will Rogers Turnpike. The icy and snowy conditions, exacerbated by a developing nor'easter, resulted in dozens of crashes statewide, with Oklahoma City police advising drivers to avoid roads. The egg spill was significant due to the elevated cost of eggs, impacted by the avian flu, representing a substantial financial loss. Despite the severity of the conditions, only minor injuries were reported. Crews are actively working to clear affected roads, but drivers are urged to proceed with caution. This weather affected a large swath of the U.S., from Kansas to the mid-Atlantic, with warnings in place for substantial ice and snow accumulation.
