Oklahoma State’s softball team stunned after team bus involved in fatal crash with a pedestrian
Oklahoma State’s softball team took some time to process a fatal crash involving its team bus earlier this week and will be back on the field Friday.
The team had been traveling to Wichita, Kansas, on Wednesday afternoon when its bus struck and killed a pedestrian who authorities said was repeatedly stepping into traffic.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said it had received calls about the pedestrian walking into traffic before the bus crash. It said the person stepped into traffic again as the bus was driving on I-35 northbound near Perry, Oklahoma, and the bus driver attempted to switch lanes and avoid the person. The pedestrian continued into the path of the bus, which was unable to stop in time to avoid them, according to authorities.
A post on Oklahoma State softball’s social media account said no one in its travel party was injured in the crash.
