MANITOWOC—Manitowoc County recorded its sixth traffic fatality of 1964 early Saturday with the death of David H. Kaufmann, 20, of Rt. 1, Newton. By comparison, there were four road deaths in the county at this time a year ago.
Kaufmann was killed about 5 a.m. when the car he was driving crashed into a concrete bridge spanning the rain swollen Pigeon River 11 miles south of the city on Highway 42. He was pronounced dead of head injuries at the scene by Dr. Theodore A. Teitgen, county coroner, who indicated there would be no inquest. County police said the accident
occurred on a straight stretch of road a half mile north of the junction of Highways 149 and 42 in heavy wind conditions.
Traveling Alone
The accident was reported by JoAnn Reinhard, registered nurse from Chicago, Ill., who came upon the scene seconds after it occurred. She was en route to Door County to spend the weekend with her parents.
According to the police investigation, Kaufmann was traveling south alone in a 1953 model Ford car when it ran off the left side of the road and plowed into the northeast corner of the bridge.
The victim was thrown out and was found lying a short distance south of the bridge on the shoulder of the road. The car ended up beyond the bridge in the west traffic lane on its badly crushed top.
It was not immediately determined where Kaufmann was going at the time of the accident. His parents told Dr. Teitgen that he left the house with two companions after supper Friday night and that they had not seen him since.
