Seminole, OK (February 7, 2025) – The Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) is investigating a fatal multi-vehicle crash that occurred on Interstate 40 outside of Seminole on Saturday night. The tragic accident claimed the lives of three individuals and left several others injured.

According to OHP, Corey Meek, 41, was driving a Chevrolet Silverado and was pronounced deceased at the scene. He was later transported to the medical examiner’s office. Timothy Warmack, 30, who was driving a Honda Accord, and his passenger, Makayla Leach, 29, were also pronounced dead at the scene and transported to the medical examiner’s office.

Several others were injured in the collision:

  • Jason Starkey, 53, was driving a Chevrolet Trax and was transported to the OU Trauma Center in stable condition.
  • A 12-year-old female passenger in Starkey’s vehicle was transported to a nearby hospital and has since been released.
  • Terry Harrison, 52, the driver of a Honda Fit, was transported to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
  • Craig Chartney, 61, driving a Kia Optima, and his passenger, Heather Chartney, 58, were not injured in the accident.

The exact cause of the collision remains under investigation by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Authorities have not yet released additional details regarding the sequence of events leading up to the crash.

Our deepest condolences go out to the families and friends of Corey Meek, Timothy Warmack, and Makayla Leach during this difficult time. We also extend our thoughts to the injured individuals and wish them a full and speedy recovery.

Multi-Vehicle Crashes and Fatal Accidents on I-40 in Oklahoma

Interstate 40 is a major transportation corridor in Oklahoma, and multi-vehicle accidents along this route can have devastating consequences, as seen in the recent crash outside Seminole. The combination of high-speed traffic, varying road conditions, and unpredictable driver behavior can contribute to serious and often fatal collisions on interstates.

Multi-vehicle accidents are typically more severe than single-vehicle crashes due to the potential for chain-reaction impacts, making it difficult for drivers to avoid involvement once an initial collision occurs. Common causes include speeding, distracted driving, fatigue, and impaired driving, though the specific cause of this accident is still under investigation.

Accidents involving multiple vehicles often result in complex investigations, as law enforcement must determine the sequence of events and identify any contributing factors. For families affected by fatal accidents, understanding the investigation process is crucial. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) conducts thorough reviews to ensure all responsible parties are held accountable, and findings may impact insurance claims and legal proceedings.

In the aftermath of fatal crashes, families may seek legal guidance to navigate wrongful death claims, insurance disputes, and compensation for funeral expenses. For those who are injured, pursuing appropriate medical care and understanding the potential for long-term recovery needs is equally important.
