WAHOO MAN KILLED WEST OF ARLINGTON
Donald Otto, 46 years of age, died in a Fremont hospital Thursday morning about three hours after the 1 1/2 ton truck he was driving left Highway 30, two miles west of Arlington, and tipped over.
State highway patrolmen reported that Otto was eastbound, when apparently both right rear dual tires blew out. The truck landed upside down on the right shoulder of the highway. It was reported that the driver was thrown from the cab and was pinned under the upset truck.
The truck's load of popcorn was spilled all over the shoulder of the highway.
