Tahlequah, Okla: Driver Fails to Maintain Lane, Sideswipes Another Car While Turning into Cherokee Casino

A driver in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, failed to maintain their lane while turning into the Cherokee Casino, sideswiping another car in the process. The incident was caught on dashcam footage shared by a Reddit user, who was driving behind the cars involved. The video shows the driver of a red Buick Crossover failing to yield to a Hyundai Sonata, making contact with the Sonata’s driver’s side fender before coming to a stop. The driver of the Sonata did not have a dashcam, but the Reddit user who shared the footage pulled over to provide them with the video. The incident occurred at the intersection of Muskogee Ave and Nancy Ward Dr/Southbridge Rd. According to Oklahoma law, failing to maintain a lane is a chargeable offense, with a typical fine ranging from $160 to $250. However, the state does not use a standard driver-point system for this violation, so no points may be assessed on the driver’s record.
