High-Speed Collisions on Tulsa’s Expressways
Crashes along the S Hwy 169 Expressway—especially near residential areas like Longview Lake—often carry higher risks due to the speed of traffic and limited shoulder space. Even a brief distraction or misjudged lane change can result in serious injury, particularly when multiple vehicles are traveling at freeway speeds.
Injury crashes on expressways can lead to back injuries, whiplash, concussions, and more. Victims may not immediately recognize the severity of their condition, making it crucial to seek medical evaluation after any high-speed impact.
For those hurt in a crash, follow-up steps include obtaining a medical diagnosis, documenting the incident, and securing support for recovery—physically, financially, and legally.
