Alexander's car was around a curve and out of the trooper's sight when the crash took place, but Howard said the Arkansas man must have lost control of it- his car sidewiped one being driven by Charles Edward Hallam of Kokomo, then skidded broadside down the road into the northbound Everett auto, driven by Mrs. Everett.
