A devastating multi-vehicle crash in Glenpool, Oklahoma has resulted in the death of a 9-year-old boy and the injury of his mother and three other children. The tragic accident occurred on East 151st Street near Fern Street Monday morning, prompting a large emergency response and the closure of the roadway.
According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP), the incident began when a semi-truck was making a left turn onto East 151st Street. To avoid a collision, a car swerved, crossing the center median and entering the oncoming lane. The vehicle was then struck by multiple cars. The 9-year-old boy was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other occupants of the car—his mother and three siblings—were transported to the hospital. Their conditions have not been released at this time.
A Glenpool Public Schools bus was also involved in the crash, but officials have stated that it was only hit with debris. No children on the bus were injured, but many did witness the traumatic event. Glenpool Public Schools Superintendent Layton issued a statement confirming that all students on Bus 12 were safely at school and that counseling teams were on-site to assist them. School staff are also reaching out directly to the families of the students who were on the bus.
The Glenpool Police Department assisted OHP with the crash investigation, and the section of East 151st Street that was closed has since been reopened. The community is left to grieve this immense loss and to support the families affected by this tragic accident.
