In a crash just east of Sand Springs a car carrying a mom and her 7-month-old baby lost control on a bridge over Keystone Lake and hit a guardrail. Both are said to be okay.

The city of Tulsa Issued the following:

Crews will continue to treat Tulsa’s roads throughout the night and morning. Motorists are encouraged to slow down while driving and remain weather aware. Motorists should also use caution near road crews and leave plenty of room between your car and the brine and salt trucks."
