TULSA, Okla. — An east Tulsa community is mourning after a crash that injured five people and left a horse dead.
It happened around on Nov. 17th near 11th and 145th.
One woman who lives in the area told 2 News the area always concerned her.
Terry Winfrey moved into this neighborhood 11 years ago. She said it's usually a quiet and calm area, but a tragedy occurred right around the corner.
Tulsa police said the crash injured four people in the car and the horseback rider.
Winfrey said she almost couldn't believe it, "It's heartbreaking for the people that were riding the horse, those injured in the vehicle, and the horse; it's tragic. It's just terrible."
Police said although the people survived the accident, the horse died. Winfrey said she was concerned about the person riding their horse on the road at night.
She said the street has been an issue for years.
"Speeding down through also is a problem. We hear cars going through quite a bit with their tires spinning, and they're speeding down through here," Winfrey said.

Lieutenant Paul Madden said there could be violations on both sides.
"Number one, the horse shouldn't have probably been in the roadway, and we may have a violation by the vehicle as well," said Madden.
Winfrey offered her condolences to those affected.
"It's just really tragic that it happened. Like I said, I hope everyone is okay and they're alright," said Winfrey.
