HUFF - OIL WORKER
Huff came to Ada recently from Oklahoma City and lives with J. Lamb, his
brother in law, 1018 East Eighth. His mother is Mrs. A.T. Huff of Bethany, who
planned to move today to Shawnee.

Officers investigating the accident said they found no trace of any of the
victims having been intoxicated or drinking. Sheriff Kaiser said Monday that
reports that rain was falling where the accident occurred were untrue, that
showers swept across Highway 48 in mid-afternoon had not come closer than one-
half mile of the scene of the tragedy.

When news of the accident spread Ada residents gathered outside the local
hospital waiting to hear if one of their relatives had been in the accident.

The Huff car was crushed from the right side until the driven in side of the
vehicle left hardly room for one person against the opposite side. The two
young women were on the right side, in the front seat with Huff, and so
received the full impact of the collision
