OK DRIVER FAILS TO STOP AT STOP SIGN
An accident report filed by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol indicates that Shannon was initially traveling south on a county road, and as he was approaching state Highway 19, his vehicle failed to stop at a traffic sign. At the same time, 33-year-old Sunee Gibson was driving a 2011 Dodge SUV west on SH 19. As Shannon’s car traveled onto the highway, it struck Gibson’s SUV, sending it rolling into the path of a third vehicle, a pickup truck driven by 32-year-old Michael Soto, who was traveling east on SH 19 at the time of the collision. Soho’s truck went off the highway after being hit and struck a fence.
