If anyone has any information regarding the hit and run incident (below), they can call Troop B OHP HQ's at 918-627-3881. According to a report from OHP Trooper George Brown (based on investigating Trooper Shiloh Hall's information) not only did the unidentified northbound vehicle leave the scene, but also a second pedestrian left the scene of the incident. 18 year old Guadalupe Cruz Vargas was admitted to Tulsa St. Francis Hospital in critical condition with head, external trunk, internal trunk, arm and leg injuries. The identity of the vehicle driver and cause of the collision is unknown at this time. The incident occured about a quarter mile north of 156th St. North on 113th E. Ave. before 11:15pm Thursday May 12, 2011. -- Ted Wright -- 12:20pm 5/13/2011
Collinsville EMS and Collinsville Rural Fire responded to a call reporting a male pedestrian hit & run victim about 11:15pm Thursday night. The incident occured outside the city limits north on 19th St. near Horse Pen Creek (159th Place N.). The victim's injuries included a likely broken pelvis and Tulsa Life Flight was called to transport the patient from the heli-pad at the Rural Fire station. I have an ID for the victim but will withhold until later today. An initial report indicated a white truck had been involved but have no confirmation for that. It was after midnight when the patient was transferred from the waiting ambulance into the helicopter headed to Tulsa. -- Ted Wright -- 12:40am Friday May 13, 2011

[Cruz Vargas, graduating with the CHS Class of 2011, was identified as the injured pedestrian]

Unlike this web site which is still free to viewers, the Tulsa World has decided to charge a subscription fee for online viewers (at least $15/month) so until further notice I will no longer be using that site as a source nor linking there where I have been driving traffic for years. Even if I paid the fee, the links would not be useful for non-subscribers. I understand their rational / business plan but will need to find alternatives, one of which is increased email help from my viewers on death notices and out-of-town sports scores, etc... -- Ted Wright -- www.cvilleok.com -- April 8, 2011
