Car Kills 2 Children on Bike
Just After Dark in West Point
WEST POINT—Dennis John Fisher, 7, and his 6-year old cousin, Joyce Fisher, both of Clearfield, were killed last night just after dark on West Point road when a car hit the bicycle they had ridden to the store for candy.
The impact tossed both children over the vehicle hood, killing the girl, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alton Fisher, out-right. The boy died before an ambulance could deliver him to medical care at an Ogden hospital. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Fisher.
Driving the car was 18-year-old Robert H. Montgomery, a Hooper youth who told Trooper Mark L. Birch, state highway patrol, he had no warning the youngsters were ahead of him, cycling toward home.
Montgomery had swung around another machine traveling the same direction on West Point road when the accident happened. Trooper Birch, said the youth-evidently was not driving at an excessive speed.

There was no light on the bicycle, the investigator said.
Exact scene of the tragedy at 7:20 p.m. was three and one-half miles west of U. S. highway 91 on the West Point road (Utah highway 107).
The double fatality brought Utah's highway death toll for the year to 184.
