All lanes of the Turner Turnpike are now open after a fiery crash shut down the roadway late Wednesday afternoon.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol officials say a tanker truck, a dump truck and a hay truck were all traveling westbound near mile marker 214 near Sapulpa around 4 p.m. when the accident occurred.

Pictures taken shortly after show intense flames.

Both east and westbound lanes were closed and diverted.

No injuries have been reported.
