El Reno Now is starting off the year with an awards-type banquet aimed at celebrating the many successes found throughout the community. The event will feature Gov. Kevin Stitt as the keynote speaker.
On Jan. 16, state officials, public school leaders, community volunteers and citizens from all walks of life will meet at the Palace Event Center on Banner Road.
The banquet will bring the community together to look back at the accomplishments of 2019, as well as take a glimpse into the future, said the city of El Reno’s Heather Brothers.
Interstate 40 was closed for more than four hours Thursday night after an Oklahoma City police car struck a person who reportedly walked into traffic.
The unnamed person died at the scene of the incident, Oklahoma City police said.
Because the incident involved an Oklahoma City police officer, that department was taking the lead in the investigation, a department spokesman said.
The officer involved had not been identified as of press time.
