Car Plunges Into Ditch. Woman Uninjured in Kansas
A Syracuse woman, Pearl Burkhart, escaped a water-filled irrigation ditch after a two-vehicle collision on US 50 near the Keamy Finney County line at 9:40 am. She was pulled from the car, unharmed though wet, by witnesses Clarence Katz and a Walsh man. The other driver signaled right then turned left, sending Burkhart’s car 180 feet off the highway into the ditch. The vehicle skimmed a stop sign, crossed a county road, and sank 75 feet north of the highway after being carried downstream by water. Burkhart was treated at the Katz residence and later retrieved by relatives.
