The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield right-of-way sign shall slow to a reasonable speed for existing conditions of traffic and visibility, or shall stop if necessary as provided in 47 O.S. § 11-703(e), yielding the right-of-way to any pedestrian legally crossing the roadway on which the driver is driving and to all vehicles in the intersection or approaching on the intersecting street or highway so close as to constitute an immediate hazard. Said driver having so yielded may proceed, and the drivers of all other vehicles approaching the intersection shall yield to the vehicle so proceeding; provided however, that if such driver is involved in a collision with a pedestrian in a crosswalk or vehicle in the intersection after driving past a yield sign without stopping, such collision shall be deemed prima facie evidence of the driver’s failure to yield the right-of-way.
