Emergency Sirens Breaking Night Quiet Across City
Emergency sirens shattered a summer night as fire, police and EMS answered four city calls between 8:12 p.m. and 2:27 a.m. A motorist, Jerry Kelbley, 24, was treated after a motorcycle crash on E State Street and Avon Place, then taken to Sheltering Arms Hospital. A fire unit responded to overheated motors at Kimes Convalescent Center. A radiator hose leak near Richland Avenue appeared to be a false fire. An infant, Marie Thompson, two weeks old, stopped choking and was cared for at the scene. Police escorted a Parkersburg ambulance through the city around 10 p.m.
