Failure to Yield: Ohio Revised Code
Ohio Revised Code §4511.43 states that motorists nearing a stop sign must stop at the stop line, and after doing so, they must yield the right of way to any vehicle with the right-of-way that is in the intersection or approaching it.
The speed of their vehicle must be reduced to one that will allow them to safely stop, and anyone that violated this section of the Ohio Revised Code may be charged with a misdemeanor.
It appears as though the at-fault driver in this accident is Randall as she failed to stop at the stop sign, causing the accident.
