A Tulsa 7th grader is lucky to be alive. He was sideswiped by a SUV this morning while in the crosswalk near Hale High School, on east 21st Street.
The accident happened about 7:45 this morning as the student walking to school. The driver was headed east and was temporarily blinded by the low angle of the sun. He was struck by the side view mirror on the vehicle.
The 13-year-old was taken to the hospital with just minor injuries. The youngster may have a broken wrist.
