Safety devices to be installed on area highway

Highway officials say safety devices will be installed on US 8 Highway 277 north of Tah ton as a result of a survey urged by State Sen. Bill Logan.

The move follows a fatal crash a week earlier near Mollart Vowas in which Lawton pioneer Charles F. Wiest died when a car struck an abutment and was hit by a truck.
