Three questioned in overpass incident

LOCUST GROVE (AP) — Oklahoma Highway Patrol investigators have questioned an adult male and two juveniles in the case involving a concrete vase from a tombstone being thrown from an overpass on the Cherokee Turnpike near here.

Lt. George Brown of the Highway Patrol said no arrests have been made and that investigators hope to have the case wrapped up in “a couple weeks.”

He also said authorities are not seeking further persons of interest related to the incident.

The vase crashed through the windshield of a tractor trailer rig and hit driver Gerald Webb, 66, just after midnight on June 12.

Justin Ohl, who works with Webb at Frank Thompson Transport in Muskogee, said Webb, who is from Porum, is still in critical condition, but breathing on his own at St. John Medical Center in Tulsa.
