Hendricks was driving eastbound on the two-lane road in a 1991 Honda Accord. His vehicle crossed the center line as he was topping a hillcrest and struck a 2009 Chevy pickup driven by a Blanchard man, according to a report by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.

Hendricks died at the scene from massive injuries. Pickup driver Frank Mayfield, 44, was treated and released from Norman Regional Hospital. His truck overturned and came to rest on its top.
