Accidents on Oklahoma roadways claimed two men Sunday, including a man hit by a driver who sped away from the scene in Tulsa, authorities said.
- Unidentified man in Tulsa.
A pedestrian died in northwest Tulsa when he was hit by two cars Sunday night, Tulsa police Sgt. Clay Ballenger said. The victim’s identity was not released.
About 10:30 p.m., the man was walking near W Edison Street and N Gilcrease Museum Road when the first car hit him, Ballenger said. As the driver of that car tried to help the man, who Ballenger said was breathing and talking to the driver, another car hit him. Doctors pronounced him dead at a Tulsa hospital.
The second car dragged the man about 75 feet and then sped away from the scene, Ballenger said. He described the car as a 2006 or newer Chevrolet Impala.
Police ask anyone who knows about the wreck to call Tulsa Crime Stoppers at (918) 596-2677.
