Oklahoma City, OK (March 15, 2025) – A serious accident occurred on I-35 near mile marker 219.5 when a semi-truck collided with a blue truck due to low visibility caused by dust in the air. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) reported that the blue truck had slowed down on the highway as dust severely impacted visibility, making it difficult for drivers to see clearly. The semi-truck, unable to stop in time, struck the truck in the rear.
In the aftermath of the initial collision, a second crash occurred when a car slowed down to view the scene of the first accident. OHP reported that a total of six individuals were injured in the crashes, though the extent of the injuries has not been fully disclosed. The cause of the crashes is attributed to the low visibility conditions, and OHP has advised the public to stay home if travel is unnecessary, as visibility in some areas has been reduced to just one car length.
Our thoughts are with those involved, we wish them a swift recovery.

Accidents involving semi-trucks, particularly in conditions of poor visibility, can be especially dangerous due to the sheer size and weight of these vehicles. The risk of collisions increases when drivers are unable to see other vehicles clearly, as was the case in this incident. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol’s warnings about reduced visibility serve as an important reminder to all drivers about the dangers of driving in poor weather conditions, such as dust storms, fog, or heavy rain.
In Oklahoma, as in many other states, semi-truck accidents often lead to serious injuries due to the violent nature of the collisions. Those involved in accidents like these may suffer from a variety of injuries, ranging from minor to life-threatening, depending on the circumstances of the crash.
