COLLINSVILLE, Okla. — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol said a 16-year-old boy is dead after a crash in Collinsville Saturday night.

OHP said the teenager was driving westbound on East 136th Street North when he ran a stop sign and hit another car driving northbound with four people at the North Sheridan Road Intersection.

The 16-year-old boy was pronounced dead on the scene.

The driver and a passenger of the second car were pinned for 20 minutes before Collinsville Fire used extrication tools to get them out. They were taken to the hospital in critical condition.

The other two passengers were an 11-year-old and a 1-year-old, OHP said. The 11-year-old was taken to the hospital for minor injuries.
