Oklahoma City, OK (August 30, 2024) - A serious auto accident in the Oklahoma City area on Friday, August 30, required support from local paramedics. The incident took place early that morning around 7:17 a.m. at the intersection of SW 44th Street and S. Walker Avenue. Local reports indicated that at least one person was hurt after two or more vehicles collided at the scene.
The circumstances leading to the collision have not yet been determined. The injured parties were provided immediate aid by attending medical personnel, and those needing further treatment were later transported to local hospitals by ambulance for further treatment. The area was closed for several hours while local authorities worked to clear the scene of the resulting debris. Tow trucks were needed to reopen the roadway to outside traffic. Though no additional information on the accident is currently available, an ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash is being managed by local law enforcement officials, and more information will be provided as it continues.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Not just in Oklahoma, but all over the country, speeding is a major contributor to life-changing auto accidents. More than 10,000 people are killed every year by drivers who exceed the speed limit or drive too fast for roadway conditions. This makes up about one-third of all road deaths each year. Even worse, over the past 20 years, speeding has been linked to nearly one-third of national roadway fatalities. Oklahoma City had 203 car crashes in a recent year that were directly caused by speeding motorists.
