Injuries received in a two-car accident three miles north of Nelson at 10:25 last Friday night caused the death early Saturday morning of Jan Allen England, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl England, who farm northeast of Harvard.
Young England died in Brodstone hospital (sic) at Superior two hours after the accident.
According to Highway Trooper Alvin Dale Blankenship, England apparently was turning into the driveway of the Bethel rural school north of Nelson as a car driven by Richard Winkelbauer, 19, of Hastings was attempting to pass him. Both cars were going north at the time on Highway 14.
None of the passengers in the England car were seriously injured. They included Clyde Bieck, 26, of Giltner, son of Floyd Bieck; Donald Bruning, 17, of Harvard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Bruning, and Leota Hattan of Nelson.
Jeanette Grossman of Nelson who was riding with Winkelbauer, suffered a bump on the forehead and shock.
Bieck received lacerations around the right eye and a sprained ankle; Bruning had a cut on his head and shock, and Miss Hattan suffered a bump on the head and knee, and lacerations on the back of her head.
All were treated at the Superior hospital (sic) and released.
Winkelbauer is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J.L. Winkelbauer of Hastings and is employed at the Hastings Naval Ammunition Depot.
Besides his parents, England is survived by one sister, Gail, and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. George England of Harvard.
