Two people die in horrific multi-vehicle Oklahoma City
OKLAHOMA CITY -- As she glanced down to check her mobile at a stoplight, Kaitlyn Newell was on her way home from work. She says she would have been involved in a horrific wreck in N.W. Maybe if seconds before she hit the gas. Sixty-third and May Ave.
"Psychologically damaged. Best thing I ever did was look up at my smartphone and go at the right moment," Newell said. The operator of a dark blue Dodge Charger was heading south on May when witnesses say he was jumping a red light, striking a silver car.
"My lights turned green, but instead apparently his light turned red," said Kaitlyn Newell. As the roadway was covered by debris, police say that speed might have been a factor in the crash. "We're looking into that at this moment, but it seems to be," said Lt. David Steiner, with the Police Department of Oklahoma City.
The silver car driver died on the spot, whereas the nurse was killed by a passenger in that vehicle. Four vehicles, including an Oklahoma State Employment Security Commission truck, are involved in all.

Using Forbes ' Brett Knight data compiled for his NBA list of the most overpaid and underpaid players, I wanted to take a look at Thunder's current roster and their value based on last season's production. Knight has adapted a methodology developed by the Southern Utah University economist David Berri, estimating the value of a win and multiplying that figure by estimating how many regular-season wins a player made to determine what the player's salary should be. To determine the number of wins produced by the game, Knight summed the numbers of each team for Wins Produced, Win Shares and an estimation based on Value Over Replacement Player. Of the 16 players currently under contract in Oklahoma City, just 10 were included in the report last season. Players who have not worked under a full-time NBA deal for the last season have not been evaluated. As a consequence, Andre Roberson, Deonte Burton, Devon Hall, Darius Bazley, Justin Patton, and Luguentz Dort were not included due to insufficient data available.
Holberton School, the coding school that bills itself as an alternative to college for budding software engineers from all of life, keeps growing. After recently opening new schools in Colombia and Tunisia, the organization today announced that it will open a new School campus in Tulsa, Okla. on January 2020. With this, Holberton will soon operate 3 schools in the U.S. (San Francisco, New Haven, and Tulsa), three in Colombia (Bogota, Cali, and Medellin) and one in Tunis, Tunisia.
For the Tulsa campus, Holberton is partnering with the George Kaiser Family Foundation and the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation to offer students need-based living assistance of $1,500 per month to help cover expenses. Once students pass the blind entrance exam and gain admission to its 2-year program, classes at Holberton are free until students get a good job that pays more than $40,000. At this point, they pay Holberton a share of their income for the next forty-two months, capped at $85,000.
"Holberton education will bring Silicon Valley expertise to the heart of America," said Pauline Cohen Forms, Holberton’s director of business development and partnerships. “By training the students in the Tulsa area in high paying, in demanding jobs, we can contribute to both the workforce development and economic growth in Tulsa.”
The school argues that its admissions process has allowed it to recruit one of the most diverse classes in the technology industry and that it has put students in companies such as Apple, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Tesla. Like with some of its other campuses Tulsa brings Holberton's program to communities that are not typically viewed like rivals to Silicon Valley but that definitely have a large pool of engineering talent.
