Evening Collisions in Northeast Oklahoma City
Crashes like the one at E Memorial Rd and N Kelley Ave are common during evening hours, especially in transitional zones between residential and arterial roadways. These intersections often involve turning vehicles, limited visibility, and increased traffic flow—all of which contribute to collision risk.
According to the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, intersections in suburban and semi-urban areas experience a significant share of injury collisions. During evening hours, drivers may be fatigued or distracted, increasing the likelihood of failing to yield or misjudging gaps in traffic.
While local officials have worked to improve safety at intersections through updated signals and signage, safe driving habits—like slowing down when approaching intersections and avoiding distractions—remain essential for preventing crashes.
