A man believed to be in his mid-20s remains unconscious in a Guthrie hospital four days after he was struck by a vehicle, and police still don't know who he is. He was carrying no identification when emergency crews reached him, and police are asking for help identifying him.
Guthrie police said officers, firefighters and emergency medical personnel responded to a pedestrian struck by a vehicle on Oct. 25, according to News 9, which placed the crash near South Sooner Road and West Lakewood Road. A separate account from KOCO described the location as South Sooner Road and East Camp Drive, so the precise intersection has not been confirmed. KOKH reported that emergency crews responded to a pedestrian crash in the 7100 block of South Sooner Road.
The man was unconscious when crews arrived at the scene and had no identification on him, per the same News 9 account. He has not regained consciousness since the crash and remains hospitalized for treatment, according to Guthrie police.
What Police Know About the Man
Investigators describe him as Hispanic, believed to be between 23 and 28 years old and about 5 feet 8 inches tall. He wears glasses and has several small tattoos above and around his left elbow, details police hope someone in the community will recognize.
With no ID, Guthrie police are asking anyone who might know him to come forward. Anyone with information is asked to call the Guthrie Police Department at 405-282-3535.
A Second Crash Highlights Pedestrian Risk in the Area
The search for the man's identity comes amid other reports of pedestrians being struck on roadways near Guthrie. One person was hospitalized in Logan County after a semi-truck struck a pedestrian near Interstate 35 and Highway 33 around 4 p.m., the same News 9 report noted. The semi driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, though authorities had not released information on what caused that incident.
No similar details have been released about what led to the Oct. 25 crash involving the still-unidentified man, including the vehicle or driver involved. For now, police are hoping the public can help answer the most basic question first: who he is.
