Photograph taken for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Officers and a wrecker crew work to free a driver trapped in his car under this Rock Island Train at S West avenue. Critically injured and with his car crumpled around him, a 33-year-old driver was pinned alive for more than an hour under a Rock Island train west of here Saturday morning. But he died before officers and wrecker crew could free him. The man was identified by his driver license as Donald Joseph Pope. His last address was Ponca City, but it could not be determined immediately if he still lived there. Pope attempted to stop for an agonizing 85 feet before his car struck a baggage car immediately behind the engine of the passenger train."
