20 mile drive ends in death
Two elderly sisters Katherine Friedrich and Louisa Friedrich, ages 80 and 84, drove 20 miles to a tax office for license plates and ended up lost in Florida’s citrus country. Katherine died after their car left the road and sank in soft sand. Louisa, found five hours later, was sun struck, confused but later aided, asking where she was and who the rescuers were.
