TULSA - Police say texting and driving was the cause of a late night rollover Wednesday.
Officers responded to the crash around 11:45 p.m. near 31st and Lynn Lane.
Police say a young man in his early 20s was distracted when he lost control of the vehicle, rolling it twice before coming to a stop upside down.
The driver admitted he'd been texting and driving when the accident occurred.
EMSA paramedics say the driver was a little banged up but his seat belt saved him from any serious injuries.
