Number of Deaths From Oklahoma Tornadoes, Storms Rises to 4

April 1, 2015

The death toll from tornadoes and strong storms last week in Oklahoma has risen to four people.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner had earlier said that one person died when the severe weather struck a mobile home park at Sand Springs on March 25.

Two other deaths were in Webbers Falls, where the medical examiner’s office said two people were washed off a bridge. It did not say whether they were in a vehicle.

A fourth death happened in Norman when police said a man driving a pickup during the storm left the roadway and crashed into a utility pole.

Gov. Mary Fallin had declared a state of emergency in 25 counties as a result of the tornadoes, severe storms, strong winds and flooding.
