Four Hospitalized in Truck Crash on Interstate 35 North of Marietta, OK, November 05, 2026

Four people were taken to hospitals following a three-vehicle crash involving a tractor-trailer on Interstate 35 north of Marietta, Oklahoma, on Thursday, November 5, 2026.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol spokesperson Walter Jack said the tractor-trailer was traveling south when it crossed into the northbound lanes and collided with two other vehicles. The types of the other vehicles were not reported.

One person became trapped in a vehicle during the collision. Fire crews extricated that person, who was then airlifted to a hospital in Denton, Texas, for treatment. The information provided did not identify which vehicle that person occupied.

The tractor-trailer driver was taken to Ardmore Hospital. A driver and a passenger in an unspecified vehicle were transported to another hospital. The hospital receiving the driver and passenger was not identified in the available information. The four people's names, ages and current conditions were not reported.

Highway Patrol diverted northbound I-35 traffic at milepost 15 and said the northbound lanes were expected to remain closed until noon. Milepost 15 was the traffic diversion point, not a confirmed location for the collision.

Southbound traffic was also affected while crews worked to remove debris from the roadway. The reported closure estimate applied to the northbound lanes; no actual reopening time was provided. The crash location was described as north of Marietta, without a more precise point on the interstate.
