Oklahoma City, OK (September 7, 2026) – A pedestrian was killed after being struck by a vehicle early on Saturday morning, September 5, near South Shartel Avenue and SW 59th Street in Oklahoma City. The crash occurred after a car traveling at a high rate of speed hit the pedestrian.

The pedestrian was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly afterward. The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with authorities. Authorities have not released the victim’s identity or additional details about the incident.

We extend our condolences to the victim’s family and friends.

What Can Increase the Risk of Pedestrian Crashes?

Pedestrian crashes can result in severe injuries because people on foot have little physical protection against a moving vehicle. The severity of a collision can depend on factors such as vehicle speed, impact location, lighting, and roadway conditions.

Drivers can reduce risks by watching carefully for pedestrians, particularly in areas with limited visibility. Pedestrians can also improve safety by using designated crossings, staying visible, and paying attention to nearby traffic.

1Seek treatment promptly after being injured in an accident. Your first priority should always be your health. Many providers offer treatment on a lien basis, meaning you can get the care you need now and pay later when your claim is resolved.
2Before speaking with an insurance company, make sure you have the facts. An official police report is the most reliable record of what happened and can help establish liability An experienced attorney can assist you in obtaining this report and using it to protect your interests.
3Consider having your case reviewed by a qualified attorney who can guide you through the next steps. They will safeguard your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.

Focus on your recovery and
let trusted professionals handle the rest
