Seattle Chauffeur McBride Faces Speed Charge After Crash
James C. McBride, the driver of the car that skidded on a Wenatchee Seattle hill, is under arrest for exceeding the speed limit. Prosecutor-elect Niles M. Sorenson, injured in the crash, would have faced manslaughter charges if he had died. Sorenson recollects little of the incident while McBride denies speeding, claiming 25 to 30 mph and that witnesses accused him of over speeding. The car was wrecked, pieces scattered, and two blocks of plank road worsened the skid before the vehicle struck a telephone pole. Sorenson remained in the car as the others were thrown out.
