(47 O.S. § 901)
(B) If such officer has reasonable cause to believe a vehicle has been abandoned in a location which would be hazardous to the free flow of traffic or be highly susceptible to damage from vandalism or other harm, he shall have the authority to remove or direct the removal of the vehicle immediately. In removing the vehicle the police officer shall comply with 47 O.S. §§ 902 et seq.
