Five people died in a crash involving a car and a tractor trailer on Interstate 35, south of Interstate 40, at 1 a.m. Friday. The car was driving south on I-35 when it went off the road, came back on and then went under the truck rig, NewsOK.com reported.

The roof was sheared off the car, which then went into the westbound lane of I-40 and went on fire. The five people in the car were all thrown out of it, and were all killed, according to NewsOK.com. Four of the five victims were from India. Authorities didn’t release the names of the deceased.

The tractor trailer driver wasn’t hurt in the accident.

Then there was a second crash at 1:40 p.m. Friday. A pickup truck was traveling east on I-40, west of I-35, when it struck some oil-field gear that was in the road, NewsOK.com reported.

The pickup then veered off and crashed into a retaining wall, and flipped over. The driver, who didn’t have his seat belt on, died of traumatic head injuries, according to NewsOK.com.
