According to a post on her official Facebook page, District 37 State Senator Allison Ikley-Freeman was involved in a vehicular accident on the Turner Turnpike while on her way to the State Capitol Friday morning. The incident reportedly left one victim dead, and the senator, who represents Sand Springs, was transported to the University of Oklahoma Health Center for treatment.

Senate Democratic Leader Kay Floyd issued the following statement:

“Earlier this morning, one of the members of the Senate Democratic Caucus, Senator Allison Ikley-Freeman of Tulsa, was returning to the state Capitol for session and was involved in an accident on the Turner Turnpike.  She was transported to Oklahoma City’s OU Medical Center for care.”

“While we want to be respectful of her privacy, we also want to thank our colleagues in the Senate and fellow Oklahomans who’ve reached out to express their concern, and we ask everyone for continued prayers for Senator Ikley-Freeman and her family.”

Senator Ikley-Freeman assumed office in 2017 and is currently up for reelection. She filed unopposed for the Democratic nomination, and will face the winner of the Republican Primary in November. A therapist by trade, Ikley-Freeman was just appointed to the State Health Care Board on Thursday. She is married with three children.
