TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa police said a driver running a stop sign is to blame for a crash that injured five people and killed a horse in east Tulsa.
2 News told you about the crash when it happened on Nov. 16th near 11th and 145th. A man riding a horse on the side of the road was hit by a car.
On Monday, Tulsa police said the driver ran a stop sign before the crash. TPD is leaving the question of who was at fault to insurance companies.
Yamileth Hernandez was riding her horse with Jose Sanchez five minutes before the crash. She said he is out of surgery but still in the hospital. Two of the injured people in the car are on ventilators, according to Tulsa police.
"The loud noise of what you could hear, it was like they're dead. That is what went through my head," said Hernandez.
Hernandez said she wants something done to prevent another accident from happening again.
"Like a horse crossing sign with some flashing lights, that's all I ask. They've got a deer sign right over there. You see deer, but you see more horses out here," said Hernandez.
TPD said the intersection has a history of accidents. Hernandez said the accident won't stop her from getting back out there.
"We don't plan on stopping and just to get this boy help because he's just a victim of all of this just like boys were in the car that they were in," said Hernandez.
