Show STRIP ROAD WORKER INJURED BY TRUCK Albrie Z. Hughes, an employee of the Skousen contracting company com-pany on the Arizona strip, is at the Washington County hospital receiving treatment for a broken rib on the right side and serious bruises about the body. Hughes was employed on the night shift and was driving a truck with a lighted lantern as a signal;. The light went out and while attempting to relight the lantern another loaded truck backed back-ed into him, crushing him' against the vehicle. The truck hit a glancing glanc-ing blow which probably saved his life for had it been headed straight he undoubtedly would have been killed. His wife and father of Mesquite came up Sunday to spend the day with the injured man. |
