Two pedestrians who were standing on the median strip asking for donations were hit by the Honda. One pedestrian died at the scene, the other was taken to hospital in critical condition.

Stewart was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter. He was booked into the Tulsa County Jail. Stewart is a tribal citizen, meaning that his case falls under the jurisdiction of the federal or tribal courts following the McGirt ruling.
