Oklahoma City, OK (October 30, 2024) - On Tuesday, October 29, a pedestrian was killed following a traffic accident in Oklahoma City. The deadly accident took place at the intersection of SE 44th Street and Interstate 35 early that morning. Local reports that a woman was traveling on foot when they were struck by an oncoming motor vehicle.
Emergency crews were rushed to the scene after being notified of a serious pedestrian crash. Despite life-saving measures by responding medical personnel, the victim suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver involved remained and cooperated with responding officials. The area was temporarily closed for several hours while local authorities worked the scene. The identity of the deceased party has been withheld at this time. No further information on the crash is currently available. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the incident is being managed by local law enforcement officials.
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
Pedestrians are some of the most exposed users on the road. The number of pedestrian deaths has been on the rise across the country. These parties are also much more likely to sustain fatal injuries in a crash. The numbers show that about one in six deaths in the United States last year involved someone on foot. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that in Oklahoma in 2021, almost 13 percent of road deaths were pedestrians. If a close family member dies in a pedestrian accident, you should be ready to file a strong wrongful death claim with the help of an experienced lawyer.
