Death toll from winter storm up to at least 5 in Oklahoma

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported four pedestrians were killed when they left their vehicles on state roadways Thursday during the storm and were struck by passing cars. A Marlow man died in Stephens County when he tried to help a stranded motorist, a Lawton man died in Comanche County when he got out of his car after a wreck and a Seminole man died in Seminole County when he got out of his stalled car. An Oklahoma City man died in a hit-and-run incident when a passing vehicle hit him as he aided a stranded motorist on Interstate 40 in El Reno.

An Oklahoma City man died Friday in Grady County when his sport-utility vehicle slid on ice and rolled on U.S. 81, troopers said.

Midwest City police also found a 79-year-old woman dead on her front porch this morning in the 1600 block of Oelke Drive, Police Chief Brandon Clabes said. She had no signs of trauma to her body may have died of exposure, but the medical examiner has yet to confirm a cause of death. Clabes said a neighbor called police this morning to say he saw the woman on the ground near her front door. The woman's identity has not been released.
