The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is investigating an officer-involved shooting.
One person died in the incident that occurred Monday morning near Henryetta.
The OSBI says Creek Nation Lighthorse and Henryetta police received several calls around 7 a.m. Monday about a truck that was going west on Interstate 40's eastbound lanes.
Officials say the driver of the truck refused to pull over and a pursuit ensued. A police officer from the Creek Nation fired his weapon and the truck crashed.
A man driving the truck was pronounced dead at the scene. A female passenger was not hurt.
Authorities have not released the names of those involved.
The Okmulgee County District Attorney requested that the OSBI investigate the incident.
