OHP Identifies Man Killed In Overnight Traffic Accident

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has confirmed that a man is dead following a traffic accident Christmas night.

Troopers say a driver was going north on I-44 when the car in front of her swerved to avoid someone in the road. The second driver was too late to also swerve and struck 29-year-old Preston Morales. OHP says Morales had gotten out of his car and was trying to cross the highway.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.
