Oklahoma City, OK (March 22, 2025) - A juvenile female was killed in a pedestrian-vehicle accident in northeast Oklahoma City on Friday, March 21. The deadly crash took place late that night at the intersection of North Martin Luther King Avenue and Northeast 6th Street. It was reported that the victim was standing near a fence in a yard when she was hit by a motor vehicle.
The at-fault driver fled the scene. Emergency crews were later dispatched to render the necessary medical aid. The victim suffered fatal injuries and was later pronounced dead. Officials suspect that the driver drove through the fence and continued driving, fleeing the scene. No further information on the deadly crash is currently available. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident 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.
People who travel on foot are some of the most at risk on the road. The number of pedestrian deaths is on the rise across the country, and pedestrians are much more likely to be killed in a crash. The numbers show that about one in six deaths in the United States last year involved a pedestrian. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that someone on foot was involved in almost 13 percent of traffic deaths in Oklahoma in 2021. If someone close to you is killed in a pedestrian crash, you should be ready to file a strong wrongful death claim with the help of a skilled lawyer.
