Show Autos Collide; None Are Hurt A boy, 12 years old, and son of A. II. Christensen of Manti, it is said, was responsible for an automobile accident ac-cident on the hill coming west from the Highland reservoir last Sunday evening at about 8 o'clock. A Ford coupe and a Dodge roadster figured Sn the mixup and both cars were badly bad-ly damaged, a wheel from each being torn off and fenders and glass and windshields being shattered when the two cars crashed. Judge Christensen and his two sons were in the Ford and Ed. Jessen, Kirk Keller, Loyal Jensen and Len Munk of Manti and Miss Ladonia Poulson and Marie Ras-mussen Ras-mussen of Redmond, were the occupants occu-pants of the Dodge. The impact of the two cars was fierce and both cars were badly damaged, but fortunately fortun-ately the occupants escaped without serious mishap. According to stories told here by the ladies from Redmond, the Dodge was traveling down the hill with Ed. Jessen as driver. Only one headlight was burning. The coupe was driven by the 12-year-old son of Judge Christensen, so it is said, and in some manner became confused either by lights or by being inexperienced in driving and failed to turn out. Although, Al-though, the Dodge, according to parties in that car, was far from the middle of the road, being forced near the ditch on the side, could not avert the collision. Both cars were taken to the "doctor" "doc-tor" for repairs. |
