Man dies falling off truck

Randy Mitchell Staff Writer

Connorville An Ada man died after falling from a pickup Saturday.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol Trooper Ashley Hampton said Rodney A. Simpson, 20, Ada, was riding in the bed of a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche driven by Jennifer A. Martin, 18, Milburn.

At 11:45 a.m., Simpson was sitting on the tailgate when his cap blew off. He leaned over to catch it and fell, Hampton said. He was taken by Johnston County EMS to Johnston County Memorial Hospital in Tishomingo with a head injury.

Simpson was pronounced dead at 12:08 p.m. Hampton said Martin was driving too fast for the road’s condition.

Martin and five other passengers, Ashlan R. Walker, 13, Arlinda J. Tso, 35, Brianna M. Chandler, 13, Tina Hernandez, 14, and Zackery A. Alon, 19, all of Ada, were not injured.
