An 80-year-old pedestrian who was injured Dec. 15 in a hit-and-run crash on Cherry Street died early Saturday, a family member said.
JoAnn Carlson was hit in a crosswalk at 15th Street and Rockford Avenue about 7:30 p.m. and was taken to St. John Medical Center in critical condition.
Granddaughter Elizabeth Carlson said she died about 3 a.m. Saturday.
Police described the vehicle that hit her as a newer-model white or silver sedan with "nice tires and rims" - possibly a Lincoln, Cadillac or Ford Taurus.
The vehicle was headed east and did not stop after the collision, police said.
Anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS or tulsaworld.com/crimestoppers. Tipsters can be anonymous and could receive a reward.
