ALTUS — Failure to yield at a stop sign led to a Friday afternoon wreck in Jackson County that left a 79-year-old Altus man in critical condition, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Roger Bingham was driving a Buick Encore southbound on a county road when he stopped at the stop sign at the intersection with U.S. 62, about 4 miles west of Altus. When Bingham entered the intersection, he collided with a westbound Ford Fusion driven by Tyler Adams, Trooper Brantley Ford reported.
