Driver using vise grips as steering wheel slams into highway wall, OK cops say
Police and firefighters responding to the scene of a highway crash were surprised to discover the driver had no steering wheel, but was getting by thanks to an unsafe workaround, Oklahoma officials say. Maybe the Okie motorist was too busy, or a little strapped for cash to buy a replacement for their missing steering wheel, so instead it seems they dug around in their tool bag and pulled out a very questionable solution — a pair of vise grips, photos show. 'There are all kinds of cars and trucks on the road today—different makes, models, and styles. But no matter how unique, every vehicle needs the same basic parts: a body, wheels, mirrors, a motor… and a steering wheel,' the Oklahoma City Fire Department said in a July 26 Facebook post, sharing a photo of a pickup truck stuck on top of a highway wall. 'One vehicle involved in a recent multi-vehicle crash was missing that last part. Instead of a steering wheel, it had vise grips attached to the steering column,' the department said. Nobody was injured in the collision, firefighters said. Is it silly? Is it sad? Seems like it's a bit both. But more than anything it's dangerous, and against the law, Oklahoma Highway Patrol said. 'For those who may not know, operating a vehicle on public roadways with vise grips instead of a steering wheel is not just a bad idea, it's illegal. Under 47 O.S. § 12‑201(1)(a), it's a misdemeanor to drive a vehicle 'known to be in such unsafe condition as to endanger any person,'' OHP said. 'While (vise grips) are known for their versatility, steering a two-ton vehicle on public roads isn't one of their intended uses.' One big question remains, and apparently not even state troopers have the answer. 'And seriously… where did the steering wheel go? How do you lose a steering wheel?' troopers said.

Oklahoma livestock farmer killed by water buffaloes he purchased just one day before fatal attack
A Jones, Oklahoma, farmer was attacked and killed by a pair of water buffaloes he acquired at a livestock auction just a day earlier, according to police. The Jones Police Department said Monday that officers responded to an emergency call just after 10:30 p.m. on Friday, regarding an individual who was attacked by water buffalo at a farm. When first responders arrived, they were unable to reach the victim, later identified as Bradley McMichael, because of the aggressive behavior of a water buffalo. In order to allow safe access to McMichael, officials shot and killed one of the water buffalo. The officers then gained entry to the scene and discovered that McMichaels had sustained multiple deep lacerations that proved to be fatal. When investigators were processing the scene, a second water buffalo started to become more and more agitated and began to pose a threat to emergency personnel. Police said the second animal was killed to ensure everyone on the scene was safe. A preliminary investigation determined that the two water buffaloes were responsible for the fatal injuries McMichael sustained. Investigators also learned McMichael purchased the two water buffaloes at a livestock auction on July 10, just a day before he was killed. Detectives suspect McMichael became trapped inside the water buffalo enclosure while he was tending to his new animals. Amy Smith, McMichael's ex-wife, told television station KFOR his passion was caring for livestock. "The cattle farming, that's his thing," Smith told the station. "He's been here his whole life, and he's done that his whole life. "So, he's an experienced cattle handler and a farmer," she added.
