DIVER SPLITS SKULL ON CREEK BOTTOM
A broken neck, a possible skull fracture and at least temporary paralysis of the legs and arms was sustained yesterday afternoon by G. W. [sic] Drury, 17, as the result of a dive into South Silver Creek near the entrance to the Silver Falls recreational area.
Drury dived from the bridge, about six feet from the water, and hit his head on the bottom, according to C. M. Charlton, city first aid car officer. A CCC doctor attended Drury when first pulled from the water, and telephoned for Salem's first aid car. He did not wish to risk moving the injured boy without proper equipment. The injured boy was brought to the Deaconess hospital here.
