JENKS, Okla. — Jenks police said one person is dead and a family is without a home after a crash Thursday night.
Just before 10 p.m. on Thursday officials say a truck drove off of the Creek Turnpike and crashed into a home near 105th and Sheridan. Neighbors reported hearing a loud noise and seeing the fire.
Jenks police confirmed the driver of that truck died. She was later identified as Mckenzie Gee. The family of four that lives in the home is okay, but their home is no longer livable so they are making other arrangements.
Neighbors told 2 News Oklahoma they've asked the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority to build a barrier wall from the highway for some time, but haven't heard any progress.
