Three Charles Page Students Dead, Two Hospitalized After Wreck in Sand Springs, Police Say

TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — Three Charles Page High School students are dead and two are hospitalized after a single car collision Thursday afternoon, according to Sand Springs police.

The wreck occurred when the vehicle with five occupants left the road and struck a tree near Colony Drive and Park Road in Sand Springs, police said.

Police said the two who were hospitalized are expected to survive. The three who died were all in the back seat. Police said it didn’t appear as though any of the five kids were wearing a seatbelt, but the Medical Examiner will confirm.

SSPD said they believe the driver was speeding as they don’t typically have major fatalities on that road.
