Three Die On Indiana Highways During Christmas Holiday
Indiana’s Christmas traffic toll rose to at least three with two deaths early today and another Friday night. Edwin P. York and Raymond Norris, both 41 and 42 of New Castle, died when their car left Ind 3 at Spiceland and hit a pole at high speed. Jackie Lee Watson, 20, of Clayton, died when his car struck a bridge railing near Libertytown in Hendricks County. Authorities feared the long 102 hour period would raise the toll further as travelers filled highways, airports, and trains.
