Edmond, OK (August 6, 2025) – Several people were hurt in a multi-vehicle collision that occurred early Wednesday morning on the Broadway Extension Hwy southbound at the intersection with E Memorial Rd, near the Edmond city line in northwest Oklahoma City.
The crash took place shortly before 6:00 a.m., just as morning traffic was beginning to increase along the busy highway corridor. According to local reports, multiple vehicles were involved in the incident, which caused significant damage and left debris scattered across the southbound lanes.
Emergency crews from Edmond and Oklahoma City responded quickly. Paramedics provided treatment to those suffering from a range of injuries. At least one individual was transported to a nearby hospital for additional medical care, while others were evaluated on-site. Fire personnel assisted in clearing the wreckage and ensuring the scene was made safe for traffic to resume.
Traffic along the southbound stretch of Broadway Extension was severely delayed for over an hour as emergency teams worked to clear the area and conduct an initial investigation. By mid-morning, normal traffic patterns had resumed.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the official cause of the crash, though early indications suggest that limited early morning visibility and speed may have been contributing factors. The incident remains under investigation.

Highway Crashes in Oklahoma’s Metro Areas
Crashes like the one at Broadway Extension Hwy and E Memorial Rd are a stark reminder of the hazards drivers face on Oklahoma’s busiest commuter corridors. This section of highway, serving as a connector between Edmond and central Oklahoma City, sees heavy use from early morning onward. Fast-moving traffic combined with shifting light conditions before sunrise can lead to dangerous situations in seconds.
This morning’s collision underscores how quickly a routine commute can be disrupted. Occurring just before 6:00 a.m., the crash came at a time when many drivers are entering the roadway with limited visibility and minimal warm-up time. Multiple vehicle involvement on high-speed roadways often results in a broad spectrum of injuries and demands swift coordination from emergency services.
Broadway Extension has long been a focal point for traffic safety efforts in the region. Recent initiatives have included speed enforcement campaigns, increased signage, and improved lighting at major intersections like E Memorial Rd. Still, the most immediate safety tool remains driver awareness and defensive habits—especially during high-risk travel windows like dawn and dusk.
For those injured in highway collisions, the impact can extend well beyond the scene. From managing follow-up care to addressing insurance complexities and employment disruptions, the aftermath can be overwhelming without the right support.
