The procession left Tulsa, led by the Tulsa Police Honor Guard and the Tulsa Police Motorcycle Unit.
Along the way, other agencies joined in, including the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Oklahoma City Police Department.
Sources indicate that as the procession entered the city limits of Oklahoma City, a car stopped on the highway, causing one Oklahoma Highway Patrol Motor Officer to crash into it.
The crash happened west bound on the Kilpatrick Turnpike.
That crash caused the collision of several other motor officers.
