Authorities in Owasso have confirmed that a man involved in a vehicle-related incident at a local grocery store parking lot has died from his injuries. The Owasso Police Department announced that the incident, which occurred on January 25 at a Reasor’s store, is now being classified as a fatal collision and remains under investigation.

According to police, officers, emergency medical services, and fire crews were dispatched to the scene after receiving a report of a collision involving a pedestrian in the parking lot. When first responders arrived, they found an adult man who was unresponsive and in need of immediate medical attention. Life-saving measures were provided at the scene before he was transported to a nearby hospital.

Investigators said witnesses at the scene described seeing the man exit the grocery store and return to his pickup truck. After getting into the driver’s side and starting the vehicle, he reportedly stepped out briefly to clear ice from the windshield. During that time, the truck began to move forward. Witnesses stated that the man attempted to stop the vehicle as it continued to roll.

Another bystander acted quickly by entering the truck, placing it into park, and turning it off. Emergency responders then provided aid to the injured man before he was taken to the hospital for further treatment.

The Owasso Police Department confirmed that the incident has been officially updated to a fatality collision. Officers continue to review witness statements and other available information to determine the full circumstances surrounding the event. No additional details have been released as the investigation is ongoing.

Officials also used the incident to remind drivers to take extra precautions during winter conditions, particularly when dealing with ice, snow, or limited visibility. Even brief moments outside a vehicle can present unexpected risks, and authorities encourage motorists to ensure vehicles are safely secured before stepping away.

Community members have expressed condolences to Wasson’s loved ones, noting the tragedy of a routine outing turning into a fatal event. The Owasso Police Department thanked witnesses and bystanders for their cooperation and for assisting at the scene until first responders arrived.
