Perkins, OK (January 30, 2025) – There were fatal injuries reported after a head-on collision in Perkins on Wednesday, January 29. The deadly accident took place on OK-33 near Sangre Road late that evening, around 9 p.m. Local reports revealed that 22-year-old Terra Richmond was traveling eastbound on the highway when she attempted to pass four vehicles.

Despite aid from attending personnel, Richmond suffered fatal injuries and was later pronounced dead at the scene. The other driver was treated at the scene for internal and leg injuries and later released. No additional information on the deadly accident is currently available. The site was temporarily closed until responding officials were able to remove the resulting wreckage and other debris.

We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time. Our thoughts are with the injured victim and their family in hopes of a full recovery.
Some types of accidents are more likely to cause major or life-changing injuries. When two cars driving towards each other collide, it is called a head-on crash, and these accidents can be deadly. In 2020, just over 10 percent of all deadly car accidents were head-on collisions. The Insurance Information Institute (III) says that this kind of accident caused 3,631 deaths and injured many more people in a year. These crashes have a death rate of almost 56 percent, which is much higher than other types of accidents. If you or someone close to you is hurt in a crash, you should consult with a diligent and skilled legal team to get the most out of your case.
