The woman was not hurt in that accident. 

A passenger in the other car was taken to a Tulsa hospital to be checked out. 

OHP troopers say the woman continued driving the wrong way, this time heading towards 161^st Street.  It is there her car collided with an oncoming pickup truck. 

The driver of the pickup truck was not hurt. 

Troopers say the woman was taken to the hospital with non life threatening injuries.
