Tobi Oyedeji celebrated his senior prom with his Bellaire High School classmates Saturday night. After the prom, the students went to an after party at Dave n’ Buster’s.
Police said around 6:15 a.m., Oyedeji was driving his sedan southbound on South Main when, for some unknown reason, he lost control and hit a curb in the median just past Hillcroft.
The sedan flew into the opposite lane, striking another car before slamming head-on into an SUV. The driver in the first car that was car that was hit was not injured. The woman driving the SUV died at the scene. Oyedeji was transported to Ben Taub hospital, where he later died
The northbound lanes on South Main were closed for several hours while HPD investigated.
Oyedeji was committed to play basketball for Texas A&M University after graduation. If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character, would you slow down? Or speed up?
I'll see you again Michael Tobi Oyedeji. I'll see you again.
