Highway Toll Climbs to 738
A rural Two Rivers man was one of four person who died in fiery collisions as auto crashes in Wisconsin during the weekend raised the total to six.
These deaths, along with another resulting from a Labor Day weekend mishap, raised the 1966 state highway toll to 738 compared to 691 on this date a year ago.
The Manitowoc County man, Harvey Mott, 23, of Rt. 2, Two Rivers, was killed instantly in a one car crash about 5:30 p.m. Sunday on Highway Q, a half mile north of Bolt, Kewaunee County.
Alone in Car
Mott, alone in his 1953 Chevrolet, according to the Kewaunee County sheriff's office, apparently lost control of his car when a tire blew, went into the right ditch where the car hit a tree and immediately caught fire. Mott was pronounced dead at the scene by Dr. Andrew Rainer, Kewaunee County coroner.
