What Happened at the U.S. 62 Intersection
The crash happened on a Wednesday afternoon. Trooper Jordan Fixico reported that a vehicle at the stop sign on U.S. 277, facing west, struck a northbound vehicle on U.S. 62 that Carter was driving.

What the Highway Patrol Report Shows
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol documented the crash in a report filed by Trooper Fixico. Troopers have not announced any charges. The patrol has not released further details about Carter's condition.
Investigators work quickly at the scene because marks on the road and other evidence fade fast. Much of the slower work happens later, away from the scene.
