Freeway Fire Ends Family’s Year of Hard Luck
In Baldwin Park a panel truck carrying the Larke family of seven burned after a tire blew on the San Bernardino Freeway. Furniture, groceries, and even 6-year-old Robert F’s crutches were lost. Firemen saved the youngsters’ lives and police, EMTs, and a tow driver aided the family whose plight drew donors totaling $25 by nightfall. William Larke drove in to help as the family awaited housing aid.
