The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said the crash happened around 11:39 p.m. at the North Sheridan Road and E. 136th St. N. intersection, about a mile SW of Collinsville High School. OHP said the teenager was driving west on E. 136th St. when he failed to stop at a stop sign, striking a vehicle with four people inside that were heading north on Sheridan.
The driver of that vehicle, a 37-year-old woman, and an 11-year-old passenger were pinned inside for about 20 minutes, OHP said. First responders had to use extrication tools to get them out. That woman and a 43-year-old man in the car with her were hospitalized in critical condition.
The final passenger, a 1-year-old, was checked out and not admitted to the hospital. The 11-year-old is in fair condition with leg injuries, authorities say.
The 16-year-old was declared dead at the scene by medical personnel.
