Tulsa Police Look For White Pickup That Struck Boy Headed To School

Tulsa Police are looking for the driver of a white Nissan pickup truck which witnesses say struck a 9-year-old walking to Disney Elementary School Thursday morning.

Police say the pickup truck has dark tinted windows and may have a camper shell or covered bed.  It was last seen headed east on 31st Street from 121st East Avenue.  No model year was given.

The driver may be a man or a woman.  Tulsa Police talked with students who saw the incident and got conflicting information on sex of the driver.

Disney Elementary is located near 25th and Garnett.  The incident occurred about 2 blocks from the school just before 7:30 a.m.

Police say the boy sustained minor injuries and was taken by EMSA to a Tulsa hospital to be checked out.  They say the boy is expected to be treated and released.
