An 18-year-old has been charged with negligent homicide stemming from a fatal accident that killed a teenage girl.
Police said that Jacob Tucker was traveling southbound on Yale Avenue at about 6 p.m. Tuesday when he failed to yield at a stop sign and clipped a Honda SUV traveling west on 121st East Ave.
The Honda then began to tip over when it was hit by an oncoming pickup truck.
Firefighters with the Tulsa Fire Department extracted 15-year-old Kinsey Wright from the vehicle. She was taken to the hospital in critical condition and died later in the evening.
Police said after a thorough investigation, was arrested and charged.
Wright was sophomore at Bixby High School and one of several high school students involved in the accident.
Kinsey was headed to soccer practice when the accident occurred.
Kinsey was born March 27, 2008 daughter and sister to Krista and Damon Wright and her brother Kade Wright. She loved sports but her favorite was soccer, as she played with a couple of local clubs — Academy FC and her current club WSA. She also played with her high school team in Bixby.
She had just made a full recovery from an ACL tear to a knee that ended her season last year.
Friends have put together a GoFundMe campaign together for Krista’s family.
