    NOWATA - A fatality wreck involving two semi-trucks and a vehicle on Wednesday left one Illinois man dead near the Kansas state line, Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers report.
    Arthur Vann Junior, a 57-year-old man from Illinois, died at the scene after his semi-truck smashed into another that was stopped on the road for construction crews on U.S. 169, south of Oklahoma 10, about 7:30 a.m., troopers report.
    The 2000 Freightliner semi-truck rear ended a 2012 Freightliner driven by 62-year-old Muskogee man Robert Weller, who was treated and released from a Bartlesville hospital with neck and back injuries, according to the report.

    Holy crap! Looks like the poor driver went quick. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

    That's probably the only good thing to come out of this.......the driver didn't suffer. That's one of my worst fears is coming upon an accident where a driver is trapped and suffering and I can't do a thing about it.

    I saw the Schneider trailer and thought our driver did the rear-ending. Glad our driver will be OK, but prayers out to the family of the other driver.

    The SNI tractor is one of our brand new ones...probably not more than a month old, based upon the number.
