Tulsa Woman Hospitalized After Being Dragged By Car In Hit-And-Run

Tulsa Police are investigating a hit and run that sent a woman to the hospital. Officials said it happened near 11th and Highway 169, next to the eastside police station.

Police said Kimberley Melton was walking when a man pulled out of a gas station, ran over her and then dragged her for 15 feet. They said he stopped, pulled her out from underneath his vehicle, then got back in and took off.

Melton's mother, Georgia McGee, said her daughter’s arm was crushed and she was rushed into surgery. She said it was crushed under the tires.

"We're hoping that it's not so bad that she might have to lose her arm," McGee said.

Investigators said surveillance video from this QuikTrip shows the person who hit Melton was driving a burgundy Durango. McGee said she was horrified when she learned what happened.

"If you know a person has been caught under your car, you don't just take off. You wait and see and make sure that person gets help," McGee said.

McGee is asking for the driver to come forward as well as anyone who saw what happened. She said police told her several people did try to help her daughter.

"Kimberley is a mother of four children, and they love her dearly, and we're just asking for prayers for her and any help on any leads anybody can give us. We just want her back, and want her to be whole," McGee said.
