A Cookson woman and her son were sent to the hospital after an accident on State Highway 82 south of Tahlequah in Cherokee County Monday morning, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) reported.

Kelly Carlson, 24, of Cookson was driving a 1995 Toyota car east on State Highway 82 when she failed to yield from a stop sign and pulled out in front of a southbound 2000 Dodge driven by Crystal Wilson, 24, also of Cookson, the OHP reported. Wilson was not injured in the accident.

Carlson was admitted to Tahlequah City Hospital and was listed in stable condition with a leg injury. Carlson's six-year-old son, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was also admitted to Tahlequah City Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition with an arm injury.

The OHP reported that Wilson was the only one wearing her seatbelt at the time of the accident. Airbags deployed in both vehicles.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
