Warren Lee Alizzi

  A 12 year old Many youth was killed instantly Friday afternoon,
when the pickup in which he was a passenger, crashed out of
control into a tree. The truck was owned by Kenneth DuBose Co. of
Many.

  Warren Lee Alizzi was sitting on the tailgate of a vehicle
traveling east of Hornbeck, on the Plainview Road near the
Hornbeck city limits at the time of the fatal accident, according
to state police officials.

  The driver of the truck, 14 year old Jerry D. Grant of Zwolle,
lost control of the vehicle, when one of the nine passengers,
Rickey Scott, fell against the driver, causing him to lose
control, the state police officials reported.

  As Grant lost control of the truck, the vehicle ran through a
ditch, up an embankment, throwing Alizzi from the truck, and
killing him, the official said.

  The other eight youths, many who were traveling in the cab of
the truck, were employed by the DuBose company, and apparently
escaped serious injury in the accident.

  Grant was issued a citation by the police for operating a
vehicle without a license. It was reported that the youth had
informed the foreman of the business firm, that he had a license
to drive.

  Alizzi was pronounced dead at the scene by Vernon Parish
Coroner, Dr. S. J. Jones.
