Accident claims life of local man 

A Marietta man has died as a result of injuries received in an accident that occurred shortly after 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 25. 


David Spicer, 70, was traveling northbound on U.S. Highway 77 approximately one mile north of Marietta on a 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle.


Spicer was following behind a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado pulling a utility trailer driven by Thomas G. Hicks, 38, of Burneyville. 


Hicks slowed to turn eastbound onto Ace Lane, but Spicer failed to slow and took evasive action to avoid striking Hicks. Spicer, who was not wearing a helmet, left the roadway to the right and was thrown from his vehicle approximately 70 feet. 


Spicer was transported to Mercy Health Love County by ambulance and then airlifted by Air Evac to Medical City Denton in Denton, Texas, where he was admitted in serious condition with arm, leg and trunk injuries. 

Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers received word from the Denton County Medical Examiner’s Office that Spicer died on Friday, September 27 shortly after 7 p.m. as a result of the injuries he received in the accident. 

Hicks was not injured. 


OHP troopers report that the roadway was dry and the weather was clear at the time of the accident.


The accident was investigated by Trooper Colton Robertson of the Carter/Love County Detachment of Troop F, assisted by Trooper Austin Ludwyck of the Love/Carter Detachment, the Marietta Fire Department, Love County EMS, Love County Sheriff’s Office and Marietta Police Department.
