Troopers from Oklahoma Highway Patrol’s Troop E responded to a roadway hazard last month on US-69 in Pittsburg County after a commercial motor vehicle hauling loose tires lost part of its load.

The tires crossed a barrier wall and struck an OHP unit, creating a dangerous situation for nearby drivers.

The driver stopped and was identified as Kutmanali Bekbolot, a citizen of Kyrgyzstan.

During the traffic stop, troopers determined that Bekbolot did not understand English.

According to OHP, the investigation showed he had been living in New York, where he was issued a commercial driver’s license.

Troopers questioned his immigration status and contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

After the consultation, authorities determined that Bekbolot did not have legal status to be in the United States.

He was taken into custody and later transferred to ICE. Bekbolot told officials he entered the country through Mexico.

OHP said the incident demonstrated the value of its coordination with federal immigration authorities.

The agency reported that individuals without legal status who hold commercial driver’s licenses are not meeting standard requirements for licensed commercial drivers.

OHP noted concerns about roadway safety and cited previous incidents in which loose tires caused injuries and fatalities. In this case, only the OHP unit was damaged.

The agency said the response aligned with its mission to protect Oklahoma residents by enforcing safety requirements and identifying risks that emerge during traffic stops.

Troopers reported that immediate action was necessary because unsecured tire loads have led to serious crashes in the past.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol released video of the interaction between Bekbolot and the OHP officer.

In the footage, the driver struggled to answer basic questions, and the trooper asked multiple times where Bekbolot lived before he provided a response.

Officials said the video illustrated communication difficulties that occurred during the stop and contributed to the decision to review the driver’s documentation.

Bekbolot held a New York commercial driver’s license at the time of the incident.

According to troopers, the tire load came loose because it had not been secured properly.

Several tires entered the opposite lanes after bouncing over the barrier wall, and one struck the patrol unit involved in the stop.

Federal and state officials have acknowledged challenges connected to commercial driver’s license issuance procedures that developed in previous years.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has said that federal authorities are reviewing the matter, including cases in which licenses were issued to individuals later determined not to have lawful status.

The department has stated publicly that it intends to evaluate state licensing practices in coordination with federal partners.

OHP has reported that the agency will continue working with ICE when immigration questions arise during traffic stops, particularly when commercial vehicles are involved.

Officials said the agency will take steps to address any conditions that could endanger Oklahoma drivers, including unsecured cargo on commercial vehicles.
