Oklahoma City, OK - Man Struck at NW 10th St & N Vermont Ave

Oklahoma City, OK (December 24, 2024) – A man was hurt after he was hit by a car after being involved in an initial crash in the Oklahoma City area on Monday, December 23. The incident took place at the corner of NW 10th Street and N. Vermont Avenue late that night, around 6:15 p.m. Three vehicles were reportedly involved in a crash, with all the cars rear-ending each other. 

One of the drivers exited their vehicle to examine the damage when he was hit by a fourth car that was not involved in the initial impact. The driver was attempting to drive around the crash scene when they hit the victim. The at-fault driver fled the scene without providing aid. Emergency responders were quickly dispatched to provide the necessary aid. The injured pedestrian was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition. The area was temporarily closed as local authorities worked to clear the scene. No further information on the incident is currently available. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash is in progress. 

Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family at this time. We hope for a full recovery.

Pedestrian Accidents in Oklahoma

Walking is a great way to get around, but it also puts you at risk of getting hurt, especially when sharing the road with a car. You're more likely to get badly hurt when you share the road as a pedestrian. In the past year, about one in five deaths involved pedestrians, making up a substantial number of overall roadway fatalities. In Oklahoma in 2021, 104 pedestrians were killed in car crashes, and 149 were seriously hurt. This shows how dangerous it can be to walk on the roads in the state. The state's pedestrian fatality rate is nearly 13 percent of overall fatalities, which is lower than the national rate of 17 percent. If you or a loved one is unfairly hurt as a pedestrian, the at-fault party should be held accountable. That is often only possible when you pursue a strong injury claim with the help of a competent legal team.
