First Traffic Fatality of New Year

Tampan, 27, Killed, 4 Injured in Crash

Death, which skipped a Christmas visit to Hillsborough County Highways, claimed 
its first victim of 1966 late Saturday on 22nd Street.

Killed in the crash of a pickup truck just east of U. S. Highway 41 was Nathan 
Clyde Byrd, 27, of Tampa, the driver.  Officers said he died instantly when 
thrown from the vehicle.

Four passengers, all fellow employees of Singleton Shrimp Co. of Tampa, were 
injured and two of them remained hospitalized yesterday.

Listed in fair condition was Jeff LeSeath, 26, and in satisfactory condition 
was Farris E. Martin, 33.

Two others, Charles Skinner, 36, based in Freeport, Tex., and Madre Wallace, 
50, of 2924 Marconi, Tampa, were treated at the hospital and released.

The Florida Highway Patrol reported the truck went out of control on 22nd 
Street on a curve, knocked down a railroad warning light and overturned.  It 
came to rest on its top.

Trooper K. E. Flynt and Sgt. A. E. Hambacher investigated.

Additional Comments:
Nathan Byrd was the son of Christopher Lee Byrd and Mary Jewell Knowles Byrd of 
Etowah County, Alabama.
