OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – According to News 9, the District Attorney’s office plans to dismiss charges against a man accused of a fatal hit-and-run collision in southeast Oklahoma City on April 30, 2024.

A 40-year-old man was allegedly driving a white Hummer when he struck a 58-year-old man riding a bicycle near Southeast 15th Street and South High Avenue. The collision ejected the victim from his bike. Following the crash, the driver reportedly fled the scene.

The DA’s office confirmed last Thursday that they will dismiss the charges against the suspect because they “have to be able to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt” that the suspect is guilty and are unable to do so
