Show Youth Dies As Result of Accident Sidney H. Sagers, 20, son of John and Bertha Nicholes Sagers, died in the Lehi hospital at 12:15 p. m. Wednesday. The young man's death was the result of infection which set in Tuesday, five days after an accident acci-dent in which he suffered a badly broken arm. Thursday night Mr. Sagers, with several young men and lady friends, were' out riding in the Sagers car. They were showing a friend from California around and were driving towards Lehi. A Chevrolet truck approached with poor lights and Sagers could see the truck was too far over on the highway and he had either to hit a telephone pole or run a chance on driving past the truck, which hp did. He was driving with his arm on the window ledge, the window being down. His left arm consequently was hit by something protruding from the truck. The left front wheel of the car was ripped off and the car swerved off the road and into the ditch on the left side, upright. None of the other occupants occu-pants were injured. The driver of the truck stopped for a minute or so then drove away. One of the boys in the car took the license number and notified the officers. He was later picked up near Charleston and gave his name to the officers as Stover of Arcadia. He was released after promising to be through this way this week but j nothing so far has been heard of him. the Sagers family reports.
