Three Golf Caddies Hurt In Fatal Accident Near Peastown
Three golf caddies were listed in fair condition at Middletown Hospital after a Saturday morning crash that killed 16 year old Jonathan Ingram near Thomas Road west of Ohio 4. Driver Larry Eckhardt, Kenneth Baker, and Billy Childers were admitted with injuries, Darrell Cox was treated and released, and state patrols continued the investigation as service faults were blamed on a car swerving to avoid Mrs Evelyn Borders. Water supply disruption due to valve closures prompted downtime but officials said the water is safe for drinking. A cofferdam project was planned for Hydraulic Canal repairs to restore the main and water wheel at Sorg and Wrenn mills. Water pressure disturbances triggered emergency calls and tanker fills.
