Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for November 24th, 2024. We're starting with some breaking news from the past few days. A tragic rollover crash on Highway 169 near 61st Street occurred just before 11 p.m. on Friday, resulting in one fatality and one person in critical condition. The driver, who was speeding, crossed the center median and rolled the vehicle several times, ejecting the passenger who later died at the hospital[1]. Moving on to our job market snapshot, there haven't been any major hiring announcements or significant layoffs reported recently. However, it's worth noting that various local employers continue to post new job openings, particularly in the healthcare and technology sectors. In real estate news, there haven't been any notable commercial or residential property sales reported in the past few days. However, construction continues on several new development projects across the city, including the recent ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Gilcrease Museum's new building[2]. From city hall, there have been ongoing discussions about addressing the backlog of sexual assault exams, with the Tulsa Police Department recently announcing that they've worked through 50% of the backlog[2]. Weather-wise, today is expected to be mostly sunny with a high in the mid-50s, making it a great day to get out and enjoy some of the city's events. Speaking of which, the Jenks Christmas Parade is coming up, and residents are advised to check the route and detours in advance[2]. In new business activity, the Tulsa Day Center has opened an animal shelter, providing a much-needed service to the homeless community and their pets[2]. On the other hand, a class-action lawsuit has been filed against St. Francis, alleging illegal timecard rounding practices[2]. Upcoming community events include the Jolly Lane Lights at the Admiral Twin, a festive event that's sure to get you in the holiday spirit[2]. In local school achievements, we don't have any specific updates today, but we always love hearing about the accomplishments of our local students and athletes. On a feel-good note, the Ronald McDonald House is seeking more guest chef volunteers, a great opportunity for those who want to give back to the community[2]. In today's crime report, aside from the tragic rollover crash, there have been no other significant incidents reported in the past 24 hours. However, the police are still investigating an accident involving a vehicle and a horse in East Tulsa that occurred last week, resulting in the death of the horse and injuries to five people[3].
