Le Flore Co, OK (October 9, 2024) – On Tuesday, October 8, a man was killed and another injured after a head-on collision in Le Flore County. The deadly collision took place on OK-1. Local sources revealed that a 2023 Harley Davidson motorcycle was traveling westbound on the highway when the bike went left of center and crashed head-on with an eastbound 2016 BMW motorcycle.
Emergency crews were rushed to the scene to provide aid to the involved parties. The driver of the BMW bike was airlifted to a local hospital in critical condition and later pronounced dead. The deceased victim was later identified as 51-year-old Brian Rhodes of Amarillo, TX. The other motorcyclist was also airlifted to a hospital in critical condition. No further information on the deadly accident is currently available. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the fatal crash is being managed by local law enforcement officials.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family in hopes of a full recovery.
A head-on impact can be severe. These crashes are involved in almost 10 percent of reported traffic fatalities nationwide, despite making up less than two percent of reported crashes each year. In most cases, these accidents involve drivers who veer into oncoming traffic, sometimes due to distraction. A total of 3,631 people were killed in head-on impacts in a recent year, with thousands more suffering serious injuries. If someone close to you is killed in a collision, it can seem hard to move on. You should always partner with a skilled legal team to pursue a strong wrongful death claim.
