Winter blizzard claims 74 year old in Clare area
A 74 year old Mt. Pleasant man, Joseph F. Dick, was killed Saturday when his car stopped in a blizzard and was rear ended by a milk tanker near Herrick Road on US 27. Several others were injured in related crashes as drifts reached six feet and winds hit 45 mph. Police reported a separate incident where a car rammed the Economy Drug Store after a driver hit the accelerator while attempting to move, injuring his wife. A bomb scare at Ken's Hardware proved false and the store later reopened. Other weekend accidents included a Beaverton Road train collision injuring Lewis Denton and his wife Ethal in Clare County.
