Tulsa, OK (November 12, 2024) - A pedestrian was killed after a crash in Tulsa on Monday, November 12. The fatal accident took place at the 3500 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard late that night. The victim was in a wheelchair in the northbound lanes when they were struck by an oncoming motorist.
Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene to provide aid to the involved parties. The victim sustained fatal injuries and was later pronounced dead. There are no sidewalks in the area, and the speed limit on the road is 45 miles per hour. At this time, the circumstances leading to the deadly crash have not been determined. The area was temporarily closed while local authorities worked the scene. The identity of the deceased party has been withheld. 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, and more information will be provided as it becomes available.
We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time.
Pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable people on the road. Across the country, more and more people are dying while walking. Also, these people are much more likely to die from their injuries in a crash. About one in six deaths in the United States last year were caused by someone walking. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that in Oklahoma in 2021, nearly 13 percent of traffic deaths involved people running into cars. If a close family member dies in a pedestrian accident, you should be ready to make a strong wrongful death claim with the help of a skilled attorney.
A fatal pedestrian crash can happen in an instant, and it utterly changes the lives of the victim's bereaved family members. People on foot are not protected from the full impact of a crash, and many drivers fail to look out for those walking on Oklahoma roads.
