Show Youth injured in road mishap Melvyn Weight, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nolan Weight, is in the hospital at Tremonton as result of an accident while working on road construction Monday. He suffered concussion, severe se-vere lacerations to his face, painful body bruises and a broken thumb. The accident occured when he attempted to dislodge the gas pedal on a truck. The car struck loose gravel, hit a large boulder and bounced into the air, throwing the youth onto the ground and rendering him unconscious. He was picked up by passing motorists and taken ta-ken to Thiocal hospital and then back to the hospital at Tremonton. The truck belonging to Thorn Construction Co., was completely com-pletely demolished. Baring complications, it is expected he will be able to return to Springville this weekend. |
