CADDO, OK - An Ada man was pinned inside the cab of a semi for almost an hour today after his truck went off road and rolled over.
Durant and Caddo fire fighters worked for almost an hour to free the driver, 65 year old Clifford D. Miller.
Authorities say shortly after 11:00p.m., Miller was heading east on Hwy 22 just east of Caddo, when he lost control on a curve and went off the road.
The truck, loaded with cattle feed, rolled over trapping Miller inside.
"There's a lot of blood, don't know what the mechanism of injury was, where it's coming from, but I do know his legs were pinned, so it took them a while, mainly for safety reasons, they used jaws of life to cut the cab away, and they were able to use a chain to pull the steering wheel and the dash off of his legs." said Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper, James Reinecker.
Miller was flown by helicopter to Plano Medical Center in serious condition.
