CORRECTION (6/20/2025) — Earlier today it was reported that the driver of the car failed to yield at the stop sign. Officials have now corrected that reported error, and KRMG has learned that the driver of the moped was the person who failed to yield.

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says one person is dead following a collision between a car and a moped on East 20 Road and US-69 Alternate Southbound, roughly three miles north of Quapaw.

Troopers say a moped driven by 33-year-old Ricky Wilson was headed eastbound on East 20 Road when a car, driven by 30-year-old Carol Betts, failed to yield to a stop sign and hit the moped.

Betts was injured in the accident and taken to a hospital in Joplin with injuries to her arm and body.

Wilson was pronounced deceased on scene by the Quapaw Nation Fire Department.

Troopers say the accident is still under investigation.
