Woman Pushing Car Hit By DUI Driver, Sand Springs Police Say

Police said a woman is in the hospital after she was hit by suspected drunk driver while pushing a disabled car along a Sand Springs road early Friday.

Officers said the driver of a Ford Mustang, identified as 25-year-old Jared Tash, was arrested following that crash.

Tash told officers he drank "his normal amount" of alcoholic beverages - 6 to 8 drinks - before the crash, an arrest report states.

In the report, after finishing a field sobriety test, Tash told officers, "go ahead and take me to jail, I'm over the limit."
