TOURIST DIES FROM INJURIES IN CAR WRECK
Earl B. Ruthruff, 43, of Portland, Ore., died Wednesday afternoon at Wyoming General hospital from a crushed chest and probably internal injuries incurred Tuesday night when the car he was driving left the highway five miles west of Green River and overturned.
No inquest is planned into Ruthruff’s death, County Coroner J. Warden Opie said last night.
Ruthruff was fatally injured when he was thrown from the car as it left the road after rounding a curve near the Covered Wagon camp. Hurled through the air, Ruthruff landed 54 feet from the spot where the overturned machine came to rest, according to an investigation conducted by State Highway Patrolman Mike Maher.
Division manager of the Midwest Studios at Portland, Ruthruff was en route east when the accident happened. Three other Midwest Studios employees, James W. Moore, 28, and Stanley Savina, salesman, and Tom Parker, 26, crew manager, who were riding with Ruthruff, escaped with but minor injuries. They were given emergency treatment at the hospital and then discharged.
Ruthruff’s body is at Wildermuth Mortuary awaiting arrival of his wife who will complete funeral arrangements.
