TULSA, Okla. — The city of Tulsa is adding an all way stop to the intersection of 121st and Yale.

This comes after the death of a Bixby teen, Kinsey Wright, in a crash at that intersection in October.

Wright was a passenger in a car involved in a crash on October 16. Police later arrested Jacob Tucker, 18, for negligent homicide. They said he rolled a stop sign leading to the crash.

2 News previously reported on the push for changes to the intersection after her death.
