FIVE KILLED IN HEADON ROAD CRASH
Knolls, Utah - A grinding head-on collision on U.S. Highway 40 near Knolls Friday has resulted in the deaths of five persons. A Utah state trooper said the accident was so violent that he couldn't tell who had been driving either car.
Two men died in the accident, two more died soon after, and a fifth - 23-year-old Walton Leonard Rice, Salt Lake City - died late Friday in the Tooele Valley Hospital.
TWO VICTIMS
Two of the dead were Donald J. Snitker, 23, of Salem, Ore., and Alfred R. Bennett, 27, of Richmond Hill, N.Y. A passenger, Arthur Causse, 21, of South Wilmington, Conn., escaped with cuts and bruises.
They were driving to the east coast after attending a naval school in Monterey, Calif.
UTAHNS KILLED
Victims in the other car were Rice, Raymond Kay Carroll, 27, and Raymond George Hackford, 23. Carroll and Hackford were from American Fork.
Police said the car driven by Hackford was westbound and apparently was attempting to pass when the accident occurred.
The deaths raised Utah's 1966 traffic death total to 138.
