McALESTER (AP) — A two-vehicle collision in Pittsburg County has killed a 14-year-old boy.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says Jacob C. Allen of McAlester died in Saturday’s collision on U.S. Highway 270 at Bache.
The collision occurred at 7:37 a.m. Troopers say a pickup truck driven by the victim’s father, Charles W. Allen, was northbound on Bache Road when it failed to stop at a stop sign and struck a vehicle that was westbound on U.S. 270.

Troopers say the victim was not wearing a seat belt.
