Police say one man died when his pick up truck rolled over on Highway 412 near Gilcrease Museum Road.  

Officials said the wreck happened just before 9 p.m. Tuesday.  Tulsa Police Department Sargeant, Chris Witt, said the victim was driving a pickup truck eastbound on 244 when the vehicle went off the highway and into the ditch.

Sgt. Witt said the victim's vehicle spun after striking a bridge support pole.  The man was ejected 30 feet from the car and was found deceased on the roadway.

"No signs of any alcohol or anything drug related and speed related at this point," Witt said.

An autopsy is being conducted. Next of kin have not been notified.

Crews shut down eastbound lanes of the highway.  Traffic was diverted near 49th W. Ave. so crews could clear the wreckage.
