The dead man is Vernon R. ANDERSEN, 31, of Compton. His wife, Marian, is in serious condition in Community Hospital here. Two daughters, Zoeanna, 5, and Shirley May, 3, were taken to Memorial Hospital in Phoenix, but their injuries are not considered serious. Dozed At Wheel - According to Highway Patrolman George PEMBERTON, the Andersen family was traveling east about 3 p. m. when their station wagon left the highway, ran down into a wash and climbed an embankment. Mrs. Andersen told the patrolman she was driving the car, said she felt drowsy just before the accident and apparently dozed at the wheel. Mr. Andersen was also taken to Memorial Hospital where he died of his head injuries a few hours later. |
