Show Seat Belts Save Lives of Two PI. Grove Men Two Pleasant Grove men recently re-cently escaped serious injury and perhaps death in recent accidents because their automobile seat belts were fastened. Tuesday morning: Newell Joseph Jos-eph Larsen ran his car into a utility pole in Salt Lake City. His $4,000 automobile was completely com-pletely demolished, but Mr. Larsen Lar-sen escaped with only minor face lacerations. The impact sliced off the right side and crumpled the top of the car. Sheriff's Deputy Rex L. Vance said that Mr. Larsen could neither have remained in the car nor escaped injurry if he liad not been tied down by the belt. Deputy Vance said Mr. Larsen told him that he apparently had fallen asleep at the -wheel. On the evening of December 14, Robert Fenton, also of Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove, was driving home from his work at Bacchus in the fog. The lights of a fast approaching ap-proaching car loomed up ahead. In order to avoid a possible head-on collision, Mr. Fenton swerved his car to the rig-ht and his vehicle flipped over. The automobile was demolished; but Mr. Fenton escaped with only minor hurts. His seat belt was securely fastened at the time of the accident. |
