The Oklahoma Highway Patrol reports a Merrill  man was killed in a road construction accident early Wednesday morning.

Twenty-year-old Brandon Polacek was riding in a construction truck as it crossed the eastbound lanes of the Turner Turnpike near Stroud, Oklahoma.

A semi crashed into that truck, knocking Polacek and the driver free. Polacek suffered "massive injuries" and we pronounced dead on the scene. The drivers of the semi and the construction truck are listed in fair condition at nearby hospitals.
