Oklahoma City, OK (November 26, 2024) - There were confirmed injuries after a hit-and-run accident in Oklahoma City on Monday, November 25. The accident took place at the corner of SE 44th Street and S. High Avenue at around 5:50 p.m. Local reports revealed that the victim was traveling on foot when they were hit by an unknown vehicle.
The at-fault driver fled the scene without providing aid to the injured party. Emergency crews were later dispatched after receiving reports of a person lying on the roadway. The injured party was transported by ambulance to a local hospital in critical condition. The area was temporarily closed while officials were at the scene. Local authorities were currently seeking information regarding the identity of the suspect driver. No further information on the collision is currently available. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the incident is being managed by local law enforcement officials.
Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
A hit-and-run crash is when a driver hits someone and flees the scene without providing aid. Statistics show that almost 25 percent of pedestrian deaths in 2022 were caused by hit-and-runs. From 2013 to 2019, hit-and-runs made up about 20 percent of pedestrian fatalities nationwide. According to the data, almost 73 percent of hit-and-run accidents only damage property, 27 percent end in injuries, and less than one percent end in fatal injuries. Those traveling on foot or by bike are more likely to suffer fatal injuries in hit-and-runs, as they are often unable to get the support they need to pursue a full recovery. You should work closely with a competent legal team if someone close to you is unfairly killed in an accident.
A pedestrian is likely to suffer serious injuries in the event of a crash. In the unfortunate event that the driver fled the scene, it can seem difficult to get the compensation you are owed. A qualified Oklahoma personal injury lawyer can fight to get you the full and fair recovery you are owed during this time.
