LOGAN COUNTY, OK — Two people were sent to hospitals Tuesday morning after a two-vehicle collision on Oklahoma Highway 33 near east Guthrie, reports Guthrie News Page.
First responders arrived at the scene near Interstate 35 shortly before 9:00 a.m.
Several witnesses told authorities a driver in a black SUV sped past a red light and collided with a semi-truck that was heading toward the I-35 northbound entrance ramp on a flashing yellow turn signal.
The impact of the crash left the SUV with significant front-end damage and caused all its airbags to deploy.

Guthrie EMS crews rushed that patient to OU Medical Center, and a second victim in the same vehicle was also transported by LifeNet crews.
The driver of the truck suffered minor injuries and received treatment at the scene.
