Truck Plunges Down Duluth Hill Killing Child and Wrecking Cars
A heavily loaded semitrailer tumbled down a steep Duluth hill for a mile killing six year old Anne Vomastek of Aurora and injuring 16 others. Seven cars wrecked and two buildings damaged before the truck halted near the waterfront. The driver, Max Hites, 18, and another driver, Lawrence K. McChesney, 52, were hospitalized in critical condition. Police blamed a failed clutch and brake failure as the truck reached 80 to 100 mph while carrying more than 30 tons of grain. A second fatal crash occurred near Knife River when Walter Bakker, 84, of Renville died in a car collision.
