Dick was driving a 1948 Dodge pick-up truck, and was accompanied by Joe Gonzales, Jr., and Miss Sedonia Ardain, both of Palacios, who were unhurt in the accident. State patrolmen said the truck rolled for 87 feet on the shoulder of the highway, got back on the pavement and when the youth applied the brakes, he must have lost control of the truck. The truck was coming toward Palacios when the accident happened. He was brought here as soon as possible but was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Bayview Hospital. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at St. Anthony’s church with Father V. J. Bily in charge of the rites.
