Cable barrier fails to prevent head on crash near Tulsa
Four cables standing 32 inches tall are a common sight in Oklahoma highway medians. These simple cables almost always prevent cross over accidents. They are also cheaper than concrete barriers, so that state has installed 600 miles of the cable barriers and plans to put in another 100 miles.
A recent highway crash near Tulsa has the Oklahoma Department of Transportation double-checking the design and location of a cable barrier.
A southbound minivan went over the cable barrier and then crashed into an oncoming truck. The driver of the minivan suffered critical injuries after being trapped in her vehicle. The truck driver also sustained injuries. The accident caused a lengthy back up on busy Tulsa Highway 75.
