Tulsa Police have their hands full with accidents and a chase overnight.

First, a two car wreck sent three people to the hospital at 15th and Main. Police say a car was waiting for a light to change when it was hit from behind. Three people had to be extracted from the car.

The driver of the other vehicle ran off. He was arrested at his apartment.

Another accident on US highway 169 at 81st Street sent one person to the hospital. The driver of a pick up truck hit another vehicle from behind. Tulsa Police believe he had been drinking.

At about the same time, a driver going southbound on Sheridan hit a utility pole near 54th Street, knocking power lines to the ground. That driver wasn't hurt.

Tulsa Police had to block off the street until it could be repaired. One driver ran right over the power line, leading police on a 20 minute chase.

It ended at 2nd and Harvard. Tulsa Police say the suspect, a woman, had apparently been drinking.
