Tulsa Man, Dominik Pulse Dies in Fiery Rollover Crash on Highway 169

A 27-year-old Tulsa man, Dominik Pulse, tragically lost his life in a rollover crash Wednesday evening on Highway 169. The accident occurred on the northbound side of the highway between 21st and 31st Streets, leaving the vehicle engulfed in flames by the time emergency responders arrived.

Tulsa Police reported that the crash happened during the evening hours, with Pulse pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators believe that excessive speed was a significant factor. Pulse’s vehicle reportedly veered off the highway, rolled multiple times, and flipped over a concrete barrier, ejecting him from the car before it caught fire.

The exact cause of the crash is still under investigation, with traffic officers looking into potential contributing factors such as road conditions, weather, or mechanical issues. However, early indications suggest that Pulse may have lost control of his vehicle while speeding.

The crash, occurring during what is believed to be near rush hour, temporarily disrupted traffic on Highway 169, a frequently congested route. No witnesses have come forward so far, and police have not disclosed further details about the moments leading up to the accident.

This tragic event highlights the dangers of speeding, which remains a leading cause of road fatalities in Tulsa and across the country. Police also emphasized the importance of seatbelt usage, noting that Pulse’s ejection from the vehicle might suggest he was not wearing one at the time.

As the investigation continues, authorities are urging drivers to prioritize safety by adhering to speed limits, wearing seatbelts, and staying attentive to road conditions. For the family and friends of Dominik Pulse, this loss serves as a heartbreaking reminder of the importance of responsible driving.
