A Sallisaw man was killed Monday evening when he lost control of the truck that he was driving after crossing an ice-covered bridge, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) reported.

Albert Wayne Seratt, 51, was traveling west on Interstate 40 near Sallisaw around 6:30 p.m. in a 1991 Ford Ranger when the accident occurred.

After crossing an ice-covered bridge, Seratt's vehicle struck the bridge guardrail, which caused the truck to runoff the road and overturn one and one-quarter times, and come to rest on the passenger side. Seratt, who was wearing a seatbelt, was partially ejected from the driver's side door, the OHP reported. He died at the scene of massive internal and external injuries.

The OHP reported that the cause of the collision was because of unsafe speed.

OHP Trooper Burkley Cash investigated the accident, and was assisted by the Sallisaw Fire and Rescue.
