Oxygen. But two months later, Clay, 40, was deceased, leaving an ache, Pickens said, that is “never going to heal.”
On July 6, Clay was found dead following a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 94 in Bismarck. John Bridges, the driver of the van Clay was in, walked away with minor injuries and was checked out at a local hospital.
