The automobile swerved to the left side of the road, went down a slight bank into the edge of cornfield and started rolling. It finally came to a stop on its wheels, more than 325 feet from where it came over the rise.
Carl and Mervel Young were thrown out and were lying on the ground beyond the halted car.
Ora Crouch, who resides just west of where the car halted, was the first to reach the scene. Marlin Young was able to blow the horn of the car. Mr. Crouch said that he heard the continued blowing and ran from his home to the car.
