"They're coming across the road here in an area that is dark and there may be 500 feet from a crosswalk that would've protected them," said Sergeant Robert Rohloff.

"This way you're not protected, so this is, unfortunately, one of the causes of many of the pedestrian accident that we see here in Tulsa."

Police say the driver parked in a nearby parking lot - then ran off. Officers say they'll use the truck's information and security camera footage to help track down the driver.
