Local Patrol Cars Remain Cob-Free By JAY BEMIS
Two people suffered minor injuries in separate area crashes over the weekend. A 14-year-old runaway from the O'Connell Youth Ranch near Lawrence drove a stolen 1978 Audi in a high speed chase, lost control near West Logan and K-268, and was hospitalized for observation before detention by Sheriff’s officials. The Audi belonged to James C. Peterson of Lawrence and was stolen early Sunday near Rhode Island Avenue. Another crash injured Susan L. Yowell, 20, of Lawrence, when her 1980 Dodge Omni left the highway north of here, rolled and she was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital before release.
