Oklahoma auto accidents: Young girl killed in hit-and-run
The death of a loved one can hit a family hard, and they may feel a sense of loss in more than one way. Auto accidents are a common cause of death, and surviving family members may feel helpless when it comes to handling the potential legal issues involved. If they feel the need to seek justice, filing a wrongful death claim against a driver considered at fault could be a step to consider.
A recent accident in Oklahoma proved fatal for one young girl. Reports stated that the driver of an SUV had struck a bicyclist just after midnight, but the driver continued traveling. The bicyclist informed police of the event and declined medical attention. After that incident, the SUV was reported as having struck a pedestrian and driven away.
The pedestrian was a 15-year-old girl, and she was killed in the incident and pronounced dead at the scene. After receiving a tip about an SUV being on fire in a nearby area, authorities were able to locate the driver suspected to have been involved in the two hit-and-run incidents. The man was taken into custody.
