A medical issue prior to a vehicle accident led to the death of a Texas man on Interstate 40 in Oklahoma.
His vehicle vaulted up in the air landing on top of asphalt millings used in road construction.
67-year-old Louis Jullien, the third, of Spring, Texas was pronounced dead at Northwest Texas Hospital in Amarillo Thursday at 2:15 pm following the one-car accident in Beckham County.
According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Jullien was westbound on the interstate about 11:13, five miles east of Erick when he suffered what the OHP report calls a medical issue. Jullien’s 2015 Ford Fusion drifted across both lanes of traffic, the center median and entered the south ditch where it continued until it struck a pile of dirt vaulting the vehicle on top of a pile of road millings approximately 20 feet high.
His Ford traveled off the roadway an estimated 3-tenths of a mile.
The vehicle was equipped with seatbelts and were in use.
