Show of July accident Dear Sir RE Article on July 4 accident accident ac ac- ac In July 7 edition of Vernal Express As an eye witness to the accident accident ac ac- ac on July 4 I 1 find it disappointing that certain facts were deleted from the front page story There was no mention of the fact that the cars car's owner was not Karren but was one of Bob Turners Turner's who sons-who was also Inthe in inthe inthe the vehicle at the time of the accident Nor was the fact that the occupants in the car were drunk Beer cans were all over the place when the car finally stopped and Turner was seen trying to remove the beer cans from the vehicle by several witnesses There was was no mention that the driver Karren ran from the scene seene of the accident and had to tobe tobe tobe be apprehended after other occupants other than Turner were interrogated by the authorities No mention was made either to the fact these boys were driving out of control weaving from side to side before the first impact was made Further it is by the grace of God and the quick reflexes on the part of the victims and potential victims that made the injuries as minor as they were Conditions as they were I believe as d do other eye witnesses witnesses witnesses wit wit- nesses that it is a miracle there were no fatalities Quick medic assistance was available and they should be commended for their actions My point in this instant case is that all the facts should have been revealed in the story All those involved and at fault should pay the consequences Who you are are should not affect the coloring of any story that a local paper feels belongs on the front page News is news facts are facts- facts if youre you're going to print a story- story reveal all the pertinent facts instead of excluding those facts that may put an member of the community in an embarrassing and precarious position Betty Jones Jensen |
