This “cross” has formed almost a year later at the location where four people died after crashing into a ravine about five miles west of Clinton between Highway 66 and Haggard Road. A teenage boy, 16 at the time of the accident, survived after being stuck in the wreckage two to three days. He was discovered May 17, 2021, by the Clinton Police Department after family had filed a missing persons report. Trooper Jared Boese of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said the boy’s condition was stable about three months after the accident and he was conducting rehab. CDN
