Cycle Crash Kills Allman
MACON, Ga. (UPI) – Guitarist DUANE ALLMAN, leader of the ALLMAN Brothers Rock Band and once an accompanist for Aretha Franklin, was killed Friday night when he lost control of his speeding motorcycle.
The bearded 24-year-old musician was pronounced two and one-half hours after he was admitted to a Macon Hospital with severe head and chest injuries.
It was first reported ALLMAN'S cycle had struck a truck but a police investigation showed there was no evidence of collision, although the cycle had skidded along the pavement a distance of 90 feet.
