ANADARKO, (Caddo County), OKLAHOMA TUESDAY, MAR. 3, 1970
A pickup truck plunged off U.S. 281 about a mile and a half south of Gracemont early Monday night and literally "flew" apart. The driver of the pickup, Joe Amon Abbott, 56, of Rt. 2, Gracemont, was thrown from the truck and died at the scene of head and chest injuries.
Highway Patrolman Gene Cain said the pickup was traveling north when it ran off the west side of the highway for 557 feet, tumbling down an embankment and through a barbed wire fence.
Cain estimated the truck turned over at least three times before coming to rest in a pasture. The truck was almost in three pieces when it stopped with the cab and bed of the truck almost completely torn loose.
Abbott's death was the third on Caddo County roads so far this year.
Services for Abbott will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday in the Gracemont High School auditorium. Rev. Phil Hargis, pastor of the Assembly of God Church in Gracemont, will conduct the services assisted by Rev. Orvil Hawkins, a former Gracemont minister, and Rev.
