Tulsa police say a person driving a pickup truck drove onto a downtown sidewalk and intentionally ran over three homeless people, killing one man and injuring a woman before driving away.
Tulsa Police Sgt. Stephen Florea says the three people were sleeping underneath the Interstate 244 at Cheyenne bridge early Monday when the truck jumped over the curb, drove down the sidewalk and struck them.
Florea says a 46-year-old man was taken to a Tulsa hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A 49-year-old woman was injured, and a third person was grazed by the truck.
Later in the day, a person was struck on a sidewalk near 15th and South Carthage, south of downtown. In this case a woman was deliberately hit. She was taken to the hospital and is expected to recover.
Florea said the truck was described as a small, white, 1980s or 1990s model pickup driven by a white man in his 40s wearing a baseball cap.
