Auto Crash Injuries Rock Iowa City and North Liberty
In Iowa City a 17 year old, Harold Sweeting, was in critical condition at Mercy Hospital after a crash on highway 218 near North Liberty. The car he rode in, driven by 18 year old Richard Stalkfleet, collided with Robert Hefley’s car. Cathy Rosene, 16, suffered a broken leg. Hefley had a dislocated ankle and head lacerations. Stalkfleet was uninjured. Also hospitalized was Mildred Gott, 19. Several others were treated and released. Authorities say Stalkfleet swerved to avoid Hefley’s oncoming car after seeing its lights. In a separate incident near Oakdale, three-car collision occurred on Highway 218 with no serious injuries among the seven passengers. The report notes President Eisenhower indicated no desire for “old men” to run for office, while the Serve-the-Youth movement favored younger candidates for governor and other seats.
