A one-vehicle wreck about six miles south of Sallisaw on U.S. Highway 59 sent a Poteau woman and her child to the hospital Thursday afternoon after the woman lost control of her vehicle.
Tiffani Tucker, 27, of Poteau complained of leg and back injuries after the accident and was taken by LifeStar Emergency Medical Service to Sequoyah Memorial Hospital in Sallisaw, Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) Trooper Dewayne Walters said. Tucker's about one-year-old child was uninjured and was fastened in a car seat when the accident occurred. The woman's dog was also in the car at the time of the wreck and was also uninjured.
Walters said Tucker wasn't sure what happened that caused her to run off the road. Tucker's late model Chrysler PT Cruiser was upside down when troopers arrived at the scene.
