Rodney Michael Cates wrecked his vehicle this past Sunday night. According to the report, Cates' Mazda truck went off the road, hit a driveway culvert, went airborne, and landed upright on a nearby residential lawn.
Somewhere during all this, the truck's radio flew out of it's housing and hit Cates in the head. The blow killed him!
Just for the record, the State Trooper on the scene reported tha alcohol contributed to the accident.
