Woman hurt
By the Herald Staff
A 55-year-old Sapulpa woman
was listed in serious condition at a
Tulsa hospital today after her vehi-
cle collided with a house in Sapul-
pa Tuesday, according to a hospital
official.
Evelyn Huffman, 55, was admit-
ted to Saint Francis Hospital,
Tulsa, for observation, according
to hospital records.
She was injured Tuesday after
she apparently blacked out while
driving her car on Park Street and
hit a building in the 300 block of
south Park.
The building houses the
Nazarcnc Fellowship Center. No
one inside the building was
reported injured.
Pact awarded?
A $4.9 million contract to
complete the widening of SH 117
from Polecat Creek cast to the
I Beeline has reportedly been
| awarded to Cummins Construc-
tion Co. Inc, of Enid, according to
a Tulsa metropolitan newspaper.
However, Joe Terry of the
Oklahoma Department of Trans-
portation’s Construction Office
could not verify the amount, or if a
contract had been awarded, during
a telephone interview today.
“1 haven’t received the paper-
work on a contract being
awarded,” Terry said. “It usually
takes three to four days after the
contract is awarded for this office
to get notification.”
The proposed project would
complete the upgrading of SH 117
from Main Street to the Beeline.
The process is part of a plan to
connect Turner Turnpike toll gates
to be built west of Sapulpa with
U.S. 169 in southeast Tulsa.
