MCCLAIN COUNTY, Okla. (KFOR) – A semi-truck driver from Texas died Monday afternoon after his rig collided with another semi-truck in McClain County.
Jonathan Dick, 55, of Cleburne, Texas, died at the scene of the crash on Interstate 35 South, about a half-mile east of Goldsby, according to the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety.
Dick was driving a 2007 Kenworth T600 south on I-35 and encountered traffic backed up because of construction.
Dick, for an unknown reason, swerved at approximately 2:36 p.m. and struck the back end of a 2020 Freightliner that was at a complete stop in the inside lane. Dick’s rig went off the road to the right following impact.
A medical examiner said Dick died from head injuries.
The driver of the other semi-truck was not injured, according to the report.
