UPDATE: Tulsa police have arrested one of the drivers involved in Tuesday’s fatal auto pedestrian collision.

They say Nicholas Stewart, driving a white Honda Accord westbound on 71st Street, ran a red light, which led to his vehicle getting struck broadside by a southbound Kia Optima.

Stewart’s vehicle spun onto the median, where it struck two pedestrians who were handing out flyers for an Oklahoma City church.

One of those men died; the other was transported in critical condition.

Stewart was arrested on a complaint of negligent homicide.

ORIGINAL STORY:

A violent collision between two cars sent one vehicle spinning onto the median at a busy south Tulsa intersection Tuesday afternoon, striking two men who were soliciting donations.

One man died at the scene, police told KRMG, the other man was taken to the hospital in “extremely serious” condition.

Both drivers were uninjured, and spoke with our KRMG reporter off the record, and both claimed they had the green light at the time of the collision.

Tulsa Police Officer Danny Bean said investigators will likely be able to piece together exactly what happened fairly quickly, as there were a number of witnesses and multiple cameras nearby.

The men in the median, KRMG was told, were there legally, wearing lime green safety vests.

One of the drivers gave KRMG a flyer he said the men were passing out to people at the intersection; our reporter saw a number of them lying on the ground at the scene of the crash (they can be seen in the photos attached to this story).

The small flyers indicate the men were soliciting for Saved By Grace Restoration Ministries, 1700 NW 7th Street in Oklahoma City.

KRMG spoke with a representative of the church late Tuesday afternoon, he wasn’t aware that the incident was fatal and declined to speak on the record until he had a chance to gather more information.
