A Kansas man tragically lost his life Monday night in a severe head-on collision near the intersection of NE 23rd Street and N. Douglas Boulevard, according to Midwest City police. The victim, 37-year-old Timothy Moran, succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Authorities confirmed that his next of kin was notified later that evening.
Police reports indicate that the crash occurred when a vehicle carrying two adults and two children attempted to turn northbound through the intersection while the traffic signal displayed a green light. Moran, traveling westbound, ran a red light at a high rate of speed and collided directly with the turning vehicle. The force of the impact was substantial, resulting in fatal injuries to Moran.
All four occupants of the vehicle that was struck were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash, which likely prevented more serious injuries. The two children were transported to a nearby hospital for medical evaluation and were kept overnight for observation. Officials have not released the names of the injured parties.
Midwest City police confirmed that the incident remains under active investigation. Authorities are continuing to review the circumstances surrounding the crash, including speed, traffic signals, and potential violations, to determine the full cause. The community mourns the loss of Moran, and officials are urging drivers to exercise caution, adhere to traffic signals, and prioritize safety to prevent similar tragedies. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
