TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Detectives are questioning a suspect today in the hit & run deaths of 5 people outside a Tulsa nightclub.

Tulsa Police Department Sgt. B.A. Bradley says the suspect, who wasn't identified, was picked up for questioning around noon in connection with the victims' deaths Friday night.

The incident occurred at 11:04 p.m. in a street outside the nightclub.

Bradley says a woman riding a motorcycle lost control on loose gravel and put the vehicle on the pavement, injuring her head. A group of bystanders gathered in the street to help the woman when a speeding pickup truck approached them.

The woman and four others were struck by the truck. 3 of the victims died at the scene and two others died later at a hospital.

The names of the victims weren't immediately available.
