The Highway Story By Bob Hultihan
A roundup of peculiar Iowa highway incidents. A lane driving campaign starts after a wandering motorist smacks a painter. A 1917 fire engine test ends in a crash with a tree. A sun blinded driver pairs with a wife who scouts traffic. Two doors burst open as women exit, chased by a mouse at the emergency brake. An ambulance bumping a patient triggers renewed motion. A Palmer lawyer defends a man who hit a parked car. Craig Hanson, age four, balances atop a 120 foot water tower before rescue.
