TULSA, Okla. — A toddler is at the hospital after being hit by a car at a home near 11th and Sheridan.
Tulsa police responded to the call at around 2:40 p.m.
Captain Andy Mackenzie with the Tulsa Police Department told 2 News the child ran out from the front of the house and onto the driveway, where they were hit.
The mother was leaving to go pick up another child from school.
Mackenzie reminded parents to be more mindful when in their vehicle in residential areas.
"Just always be diligent when you're backing out the vehicle," Mackenzie said. "Check all your mirrors and look. In this instance, it's still being investigated, but it sounds just a tragedy; I mean, obviously, it's a tragedy, but just be aware of your surroundings the best you can."
Officers told 2 News EMSA took the child to the hospital. The condition is unknown.
Mackenzie also praised EMSA for their fast response time, beating both Tulsa Fire and TPD to the scene.
