1 Killed, 1 Injured in Tulsa Car Accident
Police identified the driver killed in a northeast Tulsa crash on Monday as Aaron Butler, 63, and said the other driver was hospitalized.
Candice BondPolice said a driver was killed and another driver was hurt when two vehicles collided on Monday morning in the northeast part of Tulsa. Police identified the driver who died as Aaron Butler, 63. The crash happened at the intersection of David Patrick Avenue and East 46th Street North.
The Early Morning Crash on David Patrick Avenue
Officers were sent to the intersection just before 6 a.m. Police said Butler was driving north on David Patrick Avenue when his car was struck on the driver's side by a Jeep Wrangler headed east on 46th Street North. Firefighters freed Butler from the car, and he died later at the hospital, police said. The driver of the Jeep was also taken to a hospital with injuries that police said were not life-threatening.
Where the Tulsa Police Investigation Stands
The collision remains under investigation, according to police. Authorities have not announced any charges. Police have not said when more details will be released.
When police say a crash is still under investigation, it usually means they are still collecting evidence and have not reached any conclusions.

Here is what families in Oklahoma usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
