A devastating crash in South Tulsa late Thursday night has left two 17-year-old girls dead and a third teen in critical condition, sending shockwaves through the community.
The accident occurred around 9:45 p.m. near 91st Street and Riverside Drive when a Tesla carrying three students from Holland Hall lost control. The vehicle veered off the road, flipped, and crashed into Joe Creek, a small stream running through the area. Emergency responders arrived to find two of the girls had died at the scene, while the driver was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
Investigators are still piecing together what led to the fatal crash, though speed is believed to have been a factor. Tulsa Police are working to determine if any other circumstances, such as road conditions or mechanical failure, played a role.
The tragedy has left the Holland Hall community in mourning. The school canceled Upper School classes on Friday, offering grief counseling to students and staff. Friends and family have gathered to remember the victims, with many expressing their shock and heartbreak over the sudden loss.
As Tulsa waits for more details, questions remain: What caused the crash, and could it have been prevented? Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward as the investigation continues.
