On the way home from picking up my boys for the weekend, we witnessed this wreck happen literally right in front of us. We were stopping at the intersection and was the first car at the stop light when this van came speeding through the red light at the same time as the red Dodge. Both vehicles were traveling at the posted speed limit for each road, which is 55 mph on HWY 77 / Flood and I assume 40 mph on Tecumseh. The lady in the van was going South on HWY 77 / Flood and ran the red light at 77 / Flood and Tecumseh in Norman, OK right in front of the On Cue gas station. The van exploded (not in the fiery sense) sending shards of glass and metal everywhere. I was first on the scene and called 911. The couple in the Dodge were not injured. However, the lady in the van was unconscious and not responding. Her condition is critical and was rushed to Norman Regional Hospital. Luckily there were two RNs (nurses) at the gas station that rushed to her aid while I was on the phone with 911.

I hope all will be alright. How did your sons handle the situation, its surprising how well many children deal with such sudden mayhem.

They handled it extremely well. They understood the seriousness of the situation and remained in the car while I offered my assistance.
