Capital Men Fatally Hurled Through Windshield of Women's Car
Hit Head-On At Curve
Two men were killed and two women injured in a head-on collision of a tandem motorcycle ridden by the two men and a light sedan in which the women were riding, on the Defense Highway, near Lanham, Md., yesterday afternoon.
The dead are George S. Dougall, 24 years old, 1740 Webster street northwest, an automobile painter, and his employe, Dallas Marshall, 21 years old, 2124 Pennsylvania avenue northwest.
Dougall was killed and Dallas died at Casualty hospital from fractured skull a few hours after the accident.
Mrs. Hiram Backus, 78 years old, and her daughter, Miss Genevieve Backus both of Woodside, Md., were treated at Casualty hospital for cuts, bruises and shock. The elder woman was discharged later and taken home. Both women will recover, according to physicians.
The men were headed for Annapolis, Dougall intending to purchase a second-hand airplane there. Rounding a dangerous curve west of the Pennsylvania Railroad crossing at a high rate of speed, they crashed into the radiator of the car containing the women returning to their home from a drive through the country. The impact of the collision catapulted both men through the windshield of the car.
