Show TWO DIE IN . CAR MISHAP ONNEW ROAD Two Utah County men, Wesley Moore, 25, Orem, and James Edwin Ed-win Mayfield, 25, Provo, were killed in a grinding automobile accident early Monday morning when their vehicle went out of control on Utah highway 48, the new Bingham highway, slid 70D feet and rolled over four times. Both were believed to have been killed instantly in the accident which demolished the car. Capt-C. Capt-C. W. Brady, Salt Lake County Deputy Sheriff, reported the men apparently were traveling at a high rate of speed toward the east along the highway which recently was opened to traffic. The mishap occurred about one mile west of the railroad crossing at Welby or between five and six miles west of Redwood road. The driver, Mr. Moore, apparently appar-ently fell asleep and lost control of the car. The car ran down the right side of the highway for 237 feet, came back onto the highway high-way and slid sideways for another anoth-er 239 feet before it flipped over and continued down the highway for 233 feet, rolling over four times in the latter distance, Capt. Brady said. |
