A driver turning into Cherokee Casino failed to maintain their lane, hitting a car in the next lane.
Cherokee County-area driver and Redditor /u/Dark-Masters-light shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier in August (Aug 27, 2026) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing a driver not paying attention, turning into Cherokee Casino, failing to maintain their lane, and causing an accident as a result.
Check out how it all played out below with the original Reddit thread linked here.
The incident happened at the intersection of Muskogee Ave and Nancy Ward Dr/ Southbridge Rd (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)
As the dashcam shows, OP was driving southbound on OK-10 and began to turn left onto Nancy Ward Dr towards Cherokee Casino.
In front of him is a driver in a Hyundai Sonata, and to his left is another turner in a red Buick Crossover.
The driver in the Buick Crossover fails to maintain their lane and makes a beeline towards the Sonata’s driver’s fender.
They make contact, the Buick sideswiping the Hyundai, before they both come to a stop.
OP slows to avoid them, swinging left and continuing.
Fortunately for the victim in the Hyundai, although they didn’t have proof that the Buick driver was at fault, OP did (their dashcam vid)
“The lady who got hit didn’t have a dashcam, so I pulled over to give it to her,” OP clarified in the comments.
“Boss move for red car driver not even pulling over to let other driver out lol,” one of the top comments from /u/FarOutLakes reads.
Anytime I am in a multi-lane turn like this, I am on high alert,” /u/Geek66 shared.
In Tahlequah, Oklahoma, failing to maintain your lane is generally charged under 47 O.S. § 11-309. The fine varies by court, but a typical municipal fine is around $160–$250; Oklahoma does not use a standard statewide driver-point system for this violation, so there may be no points assessed on the driving record.
