Five Injured In Maine Turnpike Fog Crashes At Kittery
Fog shrouded the Portsmouth area as two crashes damaged a toll house on the Maine turnpike at Kittery. A Lafayette Rhode Island family and five others were injured when a car hit a coal truck, with Carol Lavery, 10, suffering a possible skull fracture and her sister Joan, 5, a broken leg. Rose Lavery, 38, the driver, had elbow lacerations and contusions. In the other collision, Anthony La Bella, 19, of East Boston, and three occupants of his car sustained injuries as the toll booth was struck. Coast guardsmen and several other passengers were treated for minor injuries. Authorities attributed the accidents to thick fog and limited visibility.

The claim surfaced as Allied negotiators opened talks on a policing plan for an armistice and dropped joint inspection demands. The reporter said he believed most missing soldiers were not POWs, noting the Korean conflict may mirror other wars in this respect.
