Heard about this on the radio. They said it was a 1940-something pickup and that he was giving a ride to a prospective buyer. They said he veered off the road for some unknown reason and they are checking the brakes and steering. They passenger only had cuts and bruises.

Unfortunately the first victim's injuries were too serious and not compatiable with life
