Fatal Accident on Broadway Extension at Hefner Rd. in OKC

The police recieved a call from someone stating that they had seen a man beating a woman in a purple colored truck while driving on the Broadway Extension in northeastern Oklahoma City Wednesday evening. An officer from the Oklahoma City Police Department was nearby and spotted the vehicle in question.

According to Liutenant Roger Bratcher of the Oklahoma City Police, the officer witnessed what looked like a couple argueing, but neither was beating the other. He then proceeded to turn on his lights, and that is when the driver decided to take off.

The driver of the truck proceeded to exit the Broadway Extension at Hefner Rd., however lost control and somehow ended up coming back down the off ramp in the wrong direction. He then entered the highway going the wrong direction, and when he tried to turn to position himself in the right direction, the truck flipped on its side and was subsequently hit by another vehicle.

The driver was thrown from the truck into the highway, which looks like is what caused his death. He was pronounced dead at the scene and the woman that was riding with him was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital where she was classified as in serious condition. The driver of the other vehicle was also taken by ambulance to a local hospital, but was listed in fair condition. There was a third car involved that clipped the overturned truck slightly, but no one in that vehicle sustained any injuries.

As of 10pm last night, the identity of the persons involved in the accident were unknown, however, this morning, the police did release the name of the driver of the truck, which is Edmond Grayson. He was 28 years old. The name of the woman passenger was not released because the police feel she was a victim of domestic abuse, and the name of the man driving the vehicle which struck Grayson's truck also has not been released.
