TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa police are looking for a driver who hit a man in a wheelchair in North Tulsa.
It happened around 6:30 on July 27th near 36th Street North and Lewis.
Police said a car hit a man in his 30s to 40s as he traveled via motorized scooter. The car left the scene, but police said parts of the car did fall off in the crash and are in evidence.
Sgt. Benjamin Elliott of the Tulsa Police Department said the driver fled the scene.
"I could imagine that it would hard for someone to see a motorized wheelchair if they didn't have reflective things on it. But the person did flee from the scene so we need that person to come talk with us," Elliott said.
A fireman on his way to work saw the crash and called it in. He performed CPR on the victim until first responders arrived and took the man to the hospital. He later died.
Police need anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.
