An Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper reports that 45-year-old Frances Carter of Tulsa was pronounced dead at St. John Hospital in Tulsa of head and internal injuries just before 6:30 p.m. Saturday. His passenger, 34-year-old Carla Cagle, was taken to St. Francis Hospital where she was admitted in critical condition with head, trunk, arm and leg injuries.

OHP reports Bartlesville resident Charles Stillian, 73, was driving southbound on County Road 2535 at 5:01 p.m. when he failed to yield from a stop sign, entering the intersection at State Highway 20. He struck Carter's 2005 Harley Davidson, which was traveling eastbound on the highway.

Stillian, who was not injured in the wreck, had three passengers in his Chevrolet pickup. One passenger, 48-year-old Suzanne Stillian of Bartlesville, was admitted to St. John Hospital in Tulsa in critical condition with head and internal injuries. The other two were not hurt.
