Lighthorse Police Officer Falls From Bridge While Responding To Norman I-35 Wreck

The southbound lanes of Interstate 35 are closed Friday morning after a wreck near Norman, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

OHP said a semitruck struck a barrier along I-35 near State Highway 9, which is southwest of Norman.

According to OHP, a Chickasha Lighthorse Police officer fell roughly 6 to 8 feet from a bridge near the scene while assisting with traffic control in the area.

That officer's injuries are not serious, police say. The driver of the semitruck is also expected to be OK.

It is unknown when the southbound lanes will be reopened at this time. All traffic is being diverted to the exit off I35 and onto SH-9.
