WRECKED ‘DEATH CAR’ TOWED TO WICKENBURG

Wickenburg residents have observed with varying degrees of horror, the completely demolished car in which a Winslow man, Leonard Bryce Meadows, met death Saturday night in a collision with a truck seven miles southeast of town on the Morristown highway: The wrecked car was towed to the Walters Garage here.

According to highway patrolmen; the car which Meadows was driving on the wrong side of the highway, crashed head-on into a truck headed northeast, driven by. Albert L. Hinton of Hayward, Calif. Hinton escaped injury but his passengers, Joe A. Calderia of Hayward and Robert Longdon or Redding, Calif., were treated for minor injuries. The truck bed was torn from the chassis and splintered, the officers reported, and the vehicle otherwise was badly wrecked.

Meadows, it is said, was a former resident of Phoenix, and more recent an employee of the Santa Fe railroad at Winslow. He was 30 years of age.
