a slight curve, Mr. HowcR ran
to the Mene and pulled his
mother out of the car but waa

a few mlnutiM. She suffered a
fractured skuil. it wbs stated
that the water In Uie creek was
about waist deep. It is thought
that the two women probably
died almost instantly from'in
juries and that the baby was
drowned.

ne^by field, heard Mr. Howeli
scream and ran to the bridge.

expelling some water from her
lungs, but his efforts were of no
avail.
Word of the accident Is said
; to have been spread In the com
munity by car which passed the
bridge after the accident and
told people living along the high
way about it. It waa about 80
minutes after the accident that
a iraotor arrived tiTremove Ihe
car.
•Failure of the brakes was
attributed as the cause of the
car being out of control. The
road from the house to the
creek is bumpy, narrow, has a
ditch on either side and was re
cently drug. It was stated. Some
thought the condition of the
road waa responsible for Mrs.
Howeli not being able to stay
on the highway, the approximate
center of the front bumper of
the car hitting the bridge railing.
A tractor waa brought to the
creek, to pull out the car before
Mrs. Woodrow Howeli and the
child could be extricated.
