Narrative:
Driving southbound on US81; 3 NM north of hennessey ok; a yellow low wing crop duster was dusting crops from east to west and west to east across the north/south lanes of US81. The aircraft repeatedly flew beneath 30 ft telephone lines on both sides of US81 and less then 5 ft off the roadway as he dusted both fields. Flying in between north and south bound traffic; I was required to stop. Subsequently; the crop duster flew in front of me (southbound) and between a northbound 18 wheeler. Both vehicles had to slow down to keep from getting too close. Crop dusters normally will fly north/south in the area covering crops. Never have I seen an aircraft fly east/west across US81 and fly below the power lines.
