Car Accident Knocks Out Power in Choctaw
More than a 1,000 people in Choctaw without power after a police pursuit ends with a car accident.
According to police, they got a call around 3am Tuesday morning that people were walking around cars in a neighborhood in Choctaw. When police arrived, they say they found a vehicle running, that appeared to be waiting on the people walking around. When officers approached the vehicle, the driver took off.
Police chased the driver a few miles to the intersection of Reno and Henny. That's just south of Choctaw High School.
The chase ended there when the driver slammed into a power pole.
Both people in the car were taken to the hospital, one was even air lifted from the scene. We know one is an adult female, the other a juvenile female. No names have been released.
OG&E crews restored power in a few hours.

By NOMAAN MERCHANT Associated Press
MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- Parents and guardians of children whose elementary schools were damaged in the deadly tornado that ripped through the Oklahoma City area are hoping for happy reunions.
At least 20 children are among the more than 50 reported dead so far in Moore, an Oklahoma City suburb ravaged Monday afternoon by a tornado with winds up to 200 mph. Officials said early Tuesday the death toll could rise by as many as 40.
Many parents seeking their children gathered at a suburban church, listening intently as someone with a bullhorn called out the names of children who were being dropped off. For many families, the ordeal ended in tears of joy. Others were left to wait in the darkness, hoping for good news while fearing the worst.
