Four Accidents Mar Weekend In Mount Dora and Surroundings
A weekend rash of traffic crashes in Mount Dora and nearby areas sent four men to Waterman Memorial Hospital in Eustis with injuries. In the worst crash, David Sexton of Zellwood, age 34, allegedly violated the right of way of Lou Hinson, 37, of Eustis, a Martin plant watchman in Orlando, on Highway 441 at Lake Clark. Sexton and his passengers Joe Gordon and Fred Cunningham, both of Zellwood, sustained injuries as their cars were demolished. Hinson was treated for a back injury. A separate edge of town near Mount Dora saw the McKinney family narrowly miss harm when an old-model car pulled into traffic from Sylvan Shores hotel area. In a third incident Kathryn Wilson of Sylvan Shores and Frank Poitras of Plymouth collided at a yield-right-of-way intersection, receiving a $15 fine. Another driver, S. L. Vinson of East Town, crashed into a parked auto owned by M. A. Jones of East Town at Fifth and Donnelly. Vinson was warned to fix his brakes.
