A city resident injured in a March 1966 crash was awarded 67000 in the Alberta Supreme Court. Justice Neil Primrose assessed 67000 to William Johnson, 23, but found him one third responsible for the accident, which occurred when a car driven by Donald Copowski mounted a curb and struck a steel pole. Johnson sustained brain damage and loss of sight, with the judge noting he will likely never be gainfully employed and may become a lifelong charge to his family. The car, traveling about 50 mph, was allegedly driven by a drunk driver who failed the curve.
