Newsok is reporting from that the Oklahoma Highway Patrol is looking for the driver of a car that hit and killed a 19-year-old man near Locust Grove then left the scene.   Our prayers go out to the family of this young man and I hope the at-fault person is brought to justice.

 

That said, I wanted to use this as a learning opportunity to those who have suffered hit and run car crashes and were injured.  You may think that when this occurs there is no avenue of recovery.  That is actually incorrect if you have uninsured motorist coverage.   Most uninsured motorist coverage in Oklahoma covers you if you’re involved in an accident whether riding a bike or walking as this unfortunate young man was.

the car was said to be a silver or charcoal color. I wish the OHP would release more info so maybe someone might notice a friend/family member's car with damage before they claim they hit a dog or a deer. There is not much to go with the information they gave.
