Second Car Goes Into River Near Caryville Florida
An inquest was ordered by Judge Kline McDonald into the deaths of James F Madden and Edward E Madden brothers who crashed through the Choctawhatchee River bridge rails on the Pensacola Jacksonville highway and drowned in a canal. Authorities connected the crash to a nearby drowning incident involving the Talmadge Adams family. The Madden brothers, both from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, were found after a lengthy search and a broken window suggested they attempted to escape before drowning. The uncle awaiting their return from Houston Texas was notified and funeral arrangements are being prepared in Bonifay.
