Boy Injured in Collision on Park Street Extension
A two year old boy was reported in fairly good condition at Putnam Memorial Hospital after a station wagon driven by his mother collided with a dump truck at the intersection of Park Street Extension and Lovers Lane. In district court, a 21 year old sailor pleaded guilty to driving to endanger in Pownal, receiving a routine fine and an alternate suspended 30 day jail term plus probation. Benedetti could not immediately pay the $40.10 fine and was given a week to pay, with his commanding officer to be notified. State's Atty. Carmody said Benedetti, clocked at 90 mph near Bennington Village, has a history of motor vehicle infractions. The judge treated the case as not routine but imposed a routine fine due to youth and service.
