Area Accidents and Injuries Hit Friday Night Traffic
A Texas truck driver, Chester McGee, 47, of Grand Rapids, was injured when he veered off Rt 37 to avoid a car and hit a trailer truck loaded with motion. He suffered a back injury and a cut forehead, was admitted then released from Marion Memorial Hospital. An unlit car backed onto the highway from Edwards Trailer Sales, and a front car stopped abruptly, sending McGee into a ditch. A foggy Rt 37 near Benton saw multiple injuries in two-car and three-car crashes, involving Gladys Johnson, Edgar Jordy, Carl Mathaney, Florsel Dabney, Bernice Fields, and others. several were treated and released or hospitalized in Benton and surrounding towns. The paper notes further collisions on Rt 51 near Equality and Rt 37 near Goreville, with various drivers reported uninjured or treated, including a wet-pavement-related three-car incident on Rt 148 south of Herrin. John Jurivich led San Jose State baseball with a 4.437 batting average this spring.
