IDENTITY TOLD OF 6 MORE BUS VICTIMS
2 of 13 Utah Mishap Fatalities Remain On Unidentified List

Six more of the 13 persons injured fatally Saturday afternoon in the roaring crash of two transcontinental Burlington Trailways buses were identified Sunday, leaving two victims still unknown.
No others died from injuries, but seven service men were reported in 'critical' condition at Salt Lake Veterans' hospital after surviving the virtual cremation of the two giant vehicles near Delle, Tooele County. Victims were killed when the buses collided on a fog-shrouded highway 62 miles west of Salt Lake City and then exploded in flames...
Also identified was Jolene Bowcutt, 11, daughter of Mrs. Frank C. Frazier, Midvale, and Irvin L. Bowcutt, Ogden, who was making her first trip away from home alone to spend Christmas with an aunt, Mrs. Enoch Pacheco, San Francisco. A grandmother and her stepfather identified the badly burned body.
