Dangers of Late-Night Driving on the Broadway Extension
The Broadway Extension (U.S. 77) is a key route through the heart of Oklahoma City, connecting residential, business, and industrial zones. Accidents in the early morning hours, such as this one near Hefner Road, are often tied to risk factors like driver fatigue, reduced visibility, or impaired reactions—all of which contribute to increased injury potential.
This corridor carries steady traffic flow even during off-peak hours, with limited lighting and merging activity that can complicate safe navigation. Rear-end collisions and lane-change impacts are common in these conditions, particularly when speeds remain high and drivers may be less alert.
Injury accidents—regardless of time of day—can leave victims dealing with medical treatment, financial strain, and emotional distress. Prompt care and early documentation are key to both physical recovery and navigating insurance or legal processes.
