The driver of the vehicle was also transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police are investigating to learn if alcohol was involved.

"They'll be given tests at the hospital to determine that, with everyone involved, if alcohol was a factor," said Lt. Don Holland with the Oklahoma City Police Department.

"But as of right now it is just too early in the investigation to tell for sure."

Police blocked both northbound and southbound traffic on Portland while they investigated the scene Friday night.
