The I-44 west to I-44 south ramp is completely blocked because of a semi carrying US mail that tipped over on its side. There are no injuries reported at this time. Please avoid the area if possible.

"Group chat got me a ticket." No group chat or text is worth a ticket, or even worse, a crash. Trooper Austin May #500 pulled over this driver for failure to maintain lane and she admitted that she was texting in a group chat. Remember to keep all distractions away while driving.

The Army Corps of Engineers put bags together for our Troop W troopers to give to the little kids that we “catch” wearing life jackets out on the lakes. It’s a lunchpail with a towel, whistle,and a keychain fishing lure. Trooper Gary Freeny #277 “caught” three-year-old Tate!

The outside lane of I-35 northbound at mile marker 31 in Ardmore, OK is closed due to this. It appears the driver was raising his trailer as he was going down I-35 and did not know it until it hit the sign and ripped it off his truck.

Happy to help our partners at the Altus Police Department, Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and the OSBI today to recover a missing, endangered 4-year-old little boy. This is a picture of Trooper Josh Tinsley #682 giving the boy a sticker after he was safely recovered.

Sometimes you just have to take a break from laboring and go hang out with your longhorns. These belong to Trooper Lyle Lubbers #578. He has 5 calves, 10 cows, 2 steers, a bull, and 3 bred heifers. No speeding going on here. We hope everyone is having a safe Labor Day weekend!
