Tulsa, OK (August 27, 2024) - On Monday, August 26, two women were hurt after a collision in the Tulsa area. The incident took place at the corner of North Peoria Avenue and East Apache Street late that evening around 11 p.m. The victims were traveling in a sport utility vehicle when they crashed with a trailer carrying a red pickup truck.
The impact caused the trailer to come loose, and the truck fell off. Both women were pregnant and were hurt in the collision. Emergency crews were rushed to the scene, and the injured parties were provided the necessary medical aid and were later transported to a nearby medical facility. No updates on the conditions of the involved parties have been provided. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the crash is being managed by local law enforcement officials, and more information will be provided as it continues.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Driving is something we do every day in Oklahoma, and you never really know if or when you will be involved in a life-changing auto accident. The Oklahoma Highway Safety Office (OHSO) says that every year there are more than 66,000 car accidents in the state, which result in nearly 12,000 injuries, with almost 1,700 people being seriously injured and 6,900 suffering minor injuries. Most of those accidents—about 31,000—happen on city streets. However, interstates can also be dangerous for drivers in Oklahoma. Each year, more than 10,000 accidents happen on the state's interstates and highways. If you or someone close to you is seriously hurt in a car accident, you should always pursue a claim for compensation with the help of a qualified legal team.
