| Wickenburg Sun (Wickenburg, Arizona) Friday, April 17, 1953, p. 1 Seattle Man Died In Local Hospital From Crash Injuries Gale Van Court, 38-year-old resident of Seattle, Wash., died at 3:38 a.m. Wednesday in Community Hospital here from injuries received in a one-car accident at the foot of Yarnell Hill around 8:15 p.m. Tuesday. William E. Craig of Phoenix, driver of the car in which Van Court was one of four passengers, was also brought to the hospital in the Coffinger ambulance and is suffering from injuries, abrasions, a cracked rib and bad back. Other passengers in the Craig car, Mr. & Mrs. Robert L. Watson and 15- month-old daughter, Carol, were brought in by Highway Patrolman Bill Hangar but left after receiving treatment at the hospital. Over Four Times Hangar said that the 1950 Plymouth which Craig was driving went out of control on the long S curve at the foot of the hill and turned over four times. The patrolman also said that he had learned there were four girl hitchhikers in the car at the time of the accident but, apparently unhurt, they left the scene before his arrival. |
