Oklahoma City, OK (September 11, 2024) - On Tuesday, September 10, a pedestrian was killed after being struck by several vehicles in the Oklahoma City area. The deadly crash was reported on Lake Hefner Parkway north of 63rd Street late that evening. The victim was reportedly traveling in a car with his mother when they pulled over and he exited the vehicle.
The pedestrian entered the roadway and was hit by five separate vehicles. Emergency responders were rushed to the scene to provide aid to the injured victim. Despite life-saving measures, he was later pronounced dead at the scene. The area was temporarily closed while local authorities worked to clear the scene. The identity of the deceased victim has been withheld. No further information on the accident is currently available. Local law enforcement officials are handling the ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash.
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
Walking is a great way to get around, but it leaves you exposed to the dangers of the road. When you share the road with a motor vehicle, you have a greater chance of getting seriously hurt. About one in five deaths in the past year involved pedestrians. In Oklahoma, 104 pedestrians were killed in car accidents in 2021, and another 149 were severely hurt, showing just how dangerous it can be to walk along the state's roads. A lot of accidents in Oklahoma involve pedestrians, and most of them take place outside of intersections. Oklahoma has a pedestrian fatality rate of nearly 13 percent, lower than the national rate of 17 percent. However, just one death is too many, and you need to be ready to take action to pursue justice after a deadly accident.
