{LAURA JANE TAYLOR BENNETT} resident of Shelton vicinity for 33yrs, met an instant death in a highway accident near OysterBay Sun morn & her dau-Alma, was cut & bruised, when their car left the icy pavement & over-turned in the ditch. The accident occurred on a long curve when MissBennett, who was driving, applied the brakes to avoid an approaching car which appeared to be troubled by ice; her car turned about & rolled from the road on the opposite side. The car was a small roadster; MrsBennett apparently had braced herself against the accident; her neck was broken by the back of the seat. The car was resting on its top but MissBennett managed to extricate herself from behind the wheel & went to the aid of her mother. With the assistance of the other driver, who was BW Bleecker-Potlatch, she was taken from the car in an unconscious condition & both ladies were rushed to the SheltonHosp, where exam-ination proved that MrsBennett was dead. The accident occurred about 8:30; MrsBennett & her daughter being on their way to visit a sister of the former, MrsJames Lee, who was ill at CastleRock. The pavement was covered with a film of ice & to add to the danger of driving there was a heavy fog which hovered over the road. The condition of the pavement was responsible for several more accidents on the highway during the morning, but none resulted in injury to occupants of the cars.
