| Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ April 27, 1962 Boy Dies, Girl Critical After Auto Accident. A 17-year-old California boy is dead and an 18-year-old Poston girl is in critical condition at Community Hospital as the result of an automobile accident at 10 p.m. Monday 4 miles west of Aguila. The two were enroute from their homes, where they spent Easter, to Tempe where they were attending Arizona State University. The boy, Frederick Benjamin of Granada Hills, Calif., died at 6:20 p. m. Tuesday. His body has been shipped to Van Nuys, California., for services and burial. The car, driven by Benjamin, went off the road. In attempting to get back on the highway, the car went across the pavement and rolled over, according to Highway Patrolman Don Miller of Wenden. There were three glass jars in the car each containing a snake. In one jar there was also a live owl and in another a live mouse, apparently as food for the snakes. Only one jar containing a king snake was broken and that snake escaped. The other two jars, containing a king snake and a red racer, the owl and the mouse, were not broken, said Miller. They were delivered to ASU at Tempe. |
