Standing Water Along The Creek Turnpike Causes Accidents, Stalls Vehicles

The Jenks Police department says standing water on the Creek Turnpike, between Elm and the river bridge, caused multiple accidents and stalled vehicles on Friday morning.

Currently, it is unclear what caused the standing water, but a Flood Advisory was in effect for Tulsa as early-morning rain swept across the state.

The Jenks Police Department asked drivers to avoid eastbound travel on the Creek turnpike between Elm and the river bridge. The road has since reopened and traffic is flowing.

The Oklahoma Transportation Authority was called to the scene to address the issue, according to Jenks Police.
