- Serious Auto Accident
Two persons were killed, two others so badly hurt that they may die, two others were slightly hurt and will recover, and one person made a miraculous escape, in the most distressing automobile accident recorded in this region since the automobiling has become a pastime, when a Buick automobile containing two boys and two girls, and a motorcycle on which three boys were riding tandem, met in a head-on collision on the William Penn Highway at Fairland, on Friday evening, about 8 o’clock. Both machines were going at high speed.
The Dead
Clayton Wenrich, age 17, of 1808 Center street, Pleasant Hill, owner and driver of the motorcycle; skull torn open, leg fractured, cuts and contusions all over the body, bones protruding from head and leg. Was in a dying condition when he reached the Good Samaritan Hospital. Died at 10:15 o’clock.
Aaron Stine, age 17, of 1735 Center street, Pleasant Hill. Fractured leg, eyes badly bruised, gashes over the body. Probably died of shock sustained in the terrific impact. He lingered until 1:20 this morning.
