When the deputies arrived, they found the red pickup truck that had skidded off the ramp sitting upright in the roadway below.
The driver had lost control of his vehicle as he was driving on the interchange ramp, according to MCSO.
“The vehicle traveled up a snowbank, proceeded over the barrier wall, and descended 70 feet down onto the westbound I-94 distress lane,” the sheriff’s office said.
The driver was conscious, breathing and did not show signs of impairment, according to the sheriff’s office. He was taken to a local hospital by the Milwaukee Fire Department.
Two people died and people suffered injuries in at least 130 of the incidents Oklahoma State Troopers responded to, according to the tweet.
At least 20 cars were caught in a pile up on I-40, the main thruway of Oklahoma City, Monday, OHP Trooper Eric Foster said during a press briefing Monday.
Foster said that an unknown number of people were injured during multiple collisions along an icy bridge.
