Wet Roads Blamed For Deaths On Patrick Street Night
In two inquests in Peoples Court this morning, authorities blamed road condition, wet curves and poor markings for the deaths of 16 year old John B. King and 56 year old Mrs. Marian C. Johnston. Witnesses testified a broken road shoulder possibly caused King to swerve, while a truck driven by William Lester Coon skidded on a wet curve near Braddock Mountain, killing Mrs. Johnston and injuring her husband. The court withheld verdicts pending further testimony and pedal details.
