Oklahoma (August 3, 2025) — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol responded to a fatal crash on Sunday involving a disabled vehicle on the Turner Turnpike.
Incident Details: 19-year-old Landon McClanahan of Oklahoma City was killed on the Turner Turnpike. Authorities say his vehicle struck a guardrail after drifting off the roadway, disabling the car. Another vehicle had pulled over with hazard lights on, prompting a passing semi to move into the inside lane, where it struck McClanahan’s car.
Investigation and Legal Considerations: The crash remains under investigation, with authorities assessing visibility, lane position, and whether the semi driver could have avoided the collision. Crash reconstruction and roadway evidence will be crucial.
The McClanahan family may have grounds for wrongful death claims, depending on the investigation’s findings. This claim could seek compensation for funeral costs, loss of companionship, and other damages.
My condolences go out to the family of Landon McClanahan during this difficult time.
