Failing to yield was possible factor in crash that killed motorcyclist, Tulsa PD says 

TULSA, OK – Tulsa Police suspect an SUV driver failed to yield to oncoming traffic, which resulted in a two-vehicle collision that claimed the life of a motorcyclist on Saturday.

The two-vehicle collision happened before 4:30 p.m. Police told KTUL that the incident unfolded when the SUV driver, a 91-year-old man, was driving north on Sheridan Avenue and failed to yield to an oncoming motorcycle while turning west onto 46th Street. The SUV went directly in front of the 2024 Harley motorcycle, and the two vehicles collided.

The motorcyclist, a 46-year-old man, was thrown from his motorcycle. EMS crews rushed him to a hospital, where he later died.

Police have started an investigation and have not said if they cited the SUV driver or whether he could face charges.
