Oops! Egg delivery scrambled on icy Oklahoma highway
A semi-truck full of eggs crashed Tuesday during a winter storm that blanketed Oklahoma with ice and snow.
There were only minor injuries.
It's not clear where the eggs were headed, but the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said the crash occurred on the Will Rogers Turnpike between Tulsa and Joplin, Missouri.
The price of an egg, once a hot-button campaign topic, has remained high due to an outbreak of avian flu across the nation and increased consumer demand. These eggs appear to be Member's Mark brand found at Sam's Clubs.
A dozen eggs cost more than $8 in Oklahoma City, quite a steep price in these trying times.

Sam's Club to remodel stores in Oklahoma, US as part of 'register-free' move: What to know
Sam's Club is remodeling each of its 600 locations, including all 13 stores in Oklahoma, with a focus on both physical and digital expansions. CEO Chris Nicholas said during Walmart Inc.'s 2025 Investment Community Meeting on April 9 that the company is emphasizing a strategy based on improving membership numbers and expanding physical and digital capabilities. 'This is one of the fastest, most scalable transformations happening in retail today,' said Nicholas in a news release on April 11. 'We're investing with intention — in our fleet, our associates and the member experience — to become the world's best club retailer.' Renovations are set to begin soon, but there is no information available on whether the stores will need to be closed during the process. Check with your local Sam's Club to see if your store will close during renovations. Here's what remodels will do to Oklahoma's 13 locations. The remodeled Sam's Club stores will follow the model of a store that reopened in Grapevine, Texas in late 2024 after it was damaged in an EF-1 tornado in December 2022. After "extensive renovations," the location introduced the company's transition to a "register-free shopping experience." "High-top tables near the showroom and entrance are staffed by member specialists ready to assist anyone new to Scan & Go," the company said in news release in December 2024, adding that the register-free experience was "met with enthusiasm, with the majority of members preferring the streamlined system in its first week." With the new design, customers can explore online exclusives, use Scan & Go to add items to their cart, and ship purchases directly to their doorsteps. All of Sam's Club's locations nationwide will be remodeled, which includes 13 locations in Oklahoma: 1117 W.
