crashed head on with a truck driven by Ted Shoemaker of Creston, about two
miles east of Creston Thursday evening. The accident occurred about 8:30 when
the Preston car side-swiped a truck driven by C. L. Kimball of Indianola and
swerved across the road into the Shoemaker truck.

recovering in the Greater Community hospital at Creston. Bernice Preston, Lenox, slightly bruised. Kenneth Anderson, Creston, seriously injured, but now recovering. Ted Shoemaker, Creston, cut and bruised.

No Inquest
Coroner A.
S. Beatty of Creston, stated over the telephone
Tuesday that no inquest would be held as he was satisfied that no one was at
fault in the accident. He said the
evidence showed that the Kimball truck was proceeding west at a slow rate of speed,
probably not to exceed 15 or 20 miles per hour.
The Preston
car came up behind this truck traveling at a high rate of speed and
attempted to go around it but side-swiped it enough to throw the car
across the road. Shoemaker, coming from the
west, saw the Preston car coming and pulled his truck clear off the paving to
avoid the crash. Dr. Beatty said there was from 12 to 15 feet clear space
between the two trucks at the
time of the
crash. The two trucks were about 75 feet apart, he said, when the Preston car
started around the Kimball truck.

the accident occurred about 8:30 in the evening. The Preston, car, owned by Mrs. Preston and
driven by her daughter, Darlene, was going west on the highway when the
accident occurred. It is believed that Miss Preston came suddenly upon a west bound
truck driven by Kimball and that she turned but to pass it, crashing
into the
Shoemaker truck going east.
Officers
said that Shoemaker, seeing what was about to happen, had driven onto the right
shoulder of the highway m an effort to avoid the crash and
that all of the
truck was off the paving with the exception of the inside wheels which were on
the curbing edge.
