Google Street View

A 37-year-old Tulsa homeless man has lost both of his legs following a late night auto crash.

Tulsa Police say 37-year-old James Gambler was pushing a shopping cart filled with scrap metal when he was struck by a car on the I-244 Service Road, or 1st Street near Rockford. 

Gambler was rushed to the hospital, but was so badly injured that both of his legs had to be amputated.
