Two dead after crash on I-44 in SW Oklahoma City

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - Two people were killed in a crash along I-44 in southwest Oklahoma City early Tuesday morning. 

"It's just really sad. It's horrible,” said Tomi Bonar. 

Bonar told KFOR she was meeting her boyfriend on a trail along I-44 near Southwest 29th when he frantically ran up to her, asking for help. 

"He was asking me for a flashlight,” said Bonar. “There was a lady that was trapped in her vehicle." 

According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, around 1 a.m., a car heading southbound ran off the roadway and struck a pole. 

"It's unknown if or how many times that vehicle rolled. But upon arrival, that vehicle was on its side,” said OHP Trooper Preston Cox. "The passenger and driver were both in the vehicle." 

Troopers said the driver died at the scene. 

While Bonor’s boyfriend freed the passenger. 

"He busted the window and got her out,” said Bonar. “After he got her out of the car, she asked for a hug, he hugged her. He turned to see if anyone was coming and she started for the traffic. Just car after car was hitting her." 

The woman was killed, which devastated Bonar and her boyfriend. 

"He's traumatized,” said Bonar. “He feels like it's his fault because he got her out of the car, but he had to. He did what he could do." 

Trooper Cox said the driver of the car that hit the woman didn’t stop. 

"If you're involved in a collision in the state of Oklahoma then you are required to stay,” said Cox. 

According to Cox, it’s too early to know if that driver will face any charges.
