Show Skidding Truck Kills 35 Sheep Sn Hwy. 6 Crash Thirty-'five sheep were killed out right, and many others crippled and mangled in an accident Wednesday Wed-nesday morning when the heavy Salt Lake -Delta freight line truck skidded and plowed into the herd. The sheep belong to the Ballards of Fanutain Green, and were on Highway 6 at the river bridge north of Delta. Eldon Greenhaulgh, 32, was driving the truck south on the highway coming to Delta. At that point he was coming down hill and it was foggy. There was no semi-trailer on the truck that trip, and when the driver driv-er braked the truck there wasn't nough traction to stop before the truck crashed into the herd. The truck skidded 150 feet, slewed a-round, a-round, and came to a stop facing north. O. J. Bennett, deputy sheriff, made the investigation. |
