Three-Car Crash Closes Tulsa's Riverside Drive

Paramedics took three people to the hospital after a three-car crash on Riverside Drive Thursday morning.

Officers said a Mazda headed north on Riverside near 81st Street hydroplaned and crossed the median into oncoming traffic. Two southbound cars, a Toyota and Honda, then collided with the Mazda.

"We don't know if speed played a factor in it... it definitely was the slick roadways from the rain this morning," TPD Officer Kurt Herman said.

EMSA transported all three drivers to a Tulsa hospital. Police said the Mazda driver was in serious condition.

Police closed the southbound lanes of Riverside Drive while workers cleaned up the wreckage.
