A Webster High School student died and several others were injured when a Suburban and a semi-trailer collided on the Turner Turnpike near Chandler in Lincoln County, Oklahoma, on Monday, November 9, 2026.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported that the crash happened around 12:45 p.m. in the eastbound lanes at mile marker 170. Seven students and one staff member were traveling in the Suburban after attending the Oklahoma Association of Student Councils State Convention in Norman.

According to the highway patrol, the semi was coming from the eastbound Travel Plaza when the vehicles collided. The Suburban rolled over, ejecting one student and leaving several other occupants trapped inside, highway patrol spokesperson Lt. Mark Southall said. Authorities did not identify the student who was ejected as the student who died.

Ambulances and a medical helicopter were at the scene. The highway patrol said the other occupants of the Suburban were transported to hospitals in Tulsa. Tulsa Public Schools confirmed the student's death and said additional passengers were receiving treatment. The semi-trailer also sustained damage.

Eastbound traffic was diverted at mile marker 168, and traffic backed up in the area.

Troopers had not determined how the collision occurred. Southall said investigators were collecting evidence, seeking witnesses and looking for video to help establish what happened. The highway patrol did not provide a timetable for completing the investigation.

Tulsa Public Schools said support teams would be at Webster beginning Tuesday morning, with Family & Children's Services also providing assistance at the school.
