MRS. R. W. MOSS ALMOST INSTANTLY KILLED WHEN AUTO PLUNGES INTO AN ARR OYO FORTY FT. DEEP.
----------------------------------
Car Bound for Farmington Leaves Road at Sharp Curve on Cuba Highway; H usband's Tongue Almost Bitten in Two and Collar Bone Torn Loose From B reast Bone.
--------------------------------------
Mrs. R. W. Moss, of Albuquerque, aged 30, was almost instantly killed when the Ford coupe in which and her husband were riding left the road at a sharp curve on the Cuba highway twenty miles northwest of San Ysidro about 7:30 p.m. Thursday and plunged into an arroyo forty feet deep. Mr. Moss escaped without a visible sign of injury, except that his tongue was almost bitten in two. His collar bone bone was torn loose from the breast bone on the left side. No evidence of internal injury could be found when he was examined by Dr. R. L. Hust Friday night, although it is possible that evidence of such injury may develop today. Word of the accident was not received in Albuquerque until about noon Friday.
Mr. and Mrs. Moss left Albuquerque at one o'clock Thursday afternoon, bound for Farmington on a business trip. They were attempting to reach Cuba Thursday night. The accident occurred 66 miles from Albuquerque at a point where the road curves sharply and is so narrow that two cars cannot pass. Mr. Moss was driving and could not account for the accident in any other way than he must have dozed for a moment. He heard Mrs. Moss scream and then the car hurtled into space, turning slightly so that it struck on the right side on which Mrs. Moss was sitting, embedding deeply in the soft dirt at the bottom of the arroyo.
Mr. Moss was stunned, but does not know whether or not he was unconscious for any length of time. He crawled out of the wreckage of the completely demolished car and tried to lift it from Mrs. Moss who was pinned beneath the shattered body of the car in a sitting posture but was unable to move it. Mrs. Moss was still breathing and her pulse could be felt.
Unable to move the car, Mr. Moss attempted to get out of the arroyo to summon help. He limped up the arroyo for short distance but found its sides getting steeper and steeper. He returned to the car, and found his wife's pulse growing weaker. He stayed until she died about a hour later then started down the canyon south, lighting tumble weed fires once in a while in the hope of attracting attention. About daylight he reached the mouth of the canyon where he found the road camp of the Mathews Construction company, three miles below the accident.
Members of the construction crew lifted the car from the body and sent word of the accident into Bernalillo by truck. C.C. Baker, Mr. Moss ' employer, received a telephone message of the accident shortly before noon and a party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Bake, Rev. P.A. Stockton , Dr. R. L. Hust and A.J. Exter and Neil Carloc of the French Mortuar y, left for the scene of the accident immediately, arriving there about 4:30 p.m.
A justice of the peace from Bernalillo accompanied the party and held an inquest, the jury returning the verdict of accidental death. Dr. Hust, examining body , found that Mrs. Moss' neck, left shoulder, left arm and left knee were broken. It was necessary to carry the body two miles before it could be gotten out of the arroyo.
The body was brought to Albuquerque late Friday night and will be sent to Mrs. Moss's old home in Fredonia, Kans. for burial. Funeral arrangements will be made today.
Mr. and Mrs. Moss had lived in Albuquerque for about a year coming here from Elmira Arkansas. Mrs. Moss had been an active worker in the Baptist church and taught a class of little Indian boys. They had been married eight years. They have no children
