Around the County The man’s name is being with held pending notification of next of kin. He was driving a 2000 Toyota Corolla, which OHP reports state was northbound on the Muskogee Turnpike when it left the roadway to the right, coming to rest 27 feet from the north shoulder.
When troopers arrived, the car was still running and in the “drive” gear, with the driver slumped over the wheel and wearing a seatbelt.
