TULSA, Okla. – A toddler was accidently killed by his father in what Tulsa police are calling a tragic accident:
On 4/12/2022 around 10:00 p.m., Officers were called out to an auto/pedestrian accident near 1200 N. Darlington Ave.
Officers arrived and learned that a man accidentally ran over his 2-year-old son with his Dodge pickup while trying to park in the driveway.

The child was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but passed away overnight from his injuries.
