Lacy D. Dial, 43, of Pembroke, R. 1, died at Baker hospital last night at 11:20 of injuries sustained when the Ford pick-up truck in which he was riding alone got out of control and turned over several times on Highway 74, six miles west of Lumberton Friday about noon.
This was the second fatal highway accident in Robeson county during the weekend. Herbert E. Whit of Charlotte having been fatally injured in a collision between his car and a truck on Highway 301 shortly after midnight Friday.
Dial had his neck broken in the accident on Route 74. Conscious during part of the two days that he lived, he told relatives that the truck got out of control, running off the pavement, and that he was unable to right it before it turned over.
Funeral services will be conducted from Harper's Ferry Baptist church Tuesday at 4 p.m. by Rev. W. L. Jacobs and Rev. T. M. Swett. Interment will be in the church cemetery.
