Bus, Automobile Crash Kills Man
MERCED, June 17 – One person was killed and four received injuries in a headon collision early yesterday morning three miles north of Merced on the Golden State Hightway between a passenger car operated by Earl V. Anderson, 22, of Merced and a Pacific Greyhound bus driven by Wayne T. Spears, 40, of Modesto. Anderson died in the general hospital about eight hours after the crash.
Injured in the crash were Spears, Thomas J. Daniels, 45, of Los Angeles; Lawrence H. Moore, 32, Burley, Wash.; and Anna Swick, 49, of Vancouver, B.C. They were all taken to the general hospital. All persons receiving injuries were passengers in the bus.
Swing To Wrong Side
Highway Patrolmen Maxwell Neil and Curtis Farr, investigating the crash, reported the Anderson machine, going in a southerly direction, swung onto the wrong side of the road directly into the path of the north bound bus. Anderson, a veteran of World War II with nearly two years' overseas service, was a native of Colorado and had lived in this community for the past 12 years.
