The accident in which Mr. Lindgren was killed occurred at 6:05 o'clock Friday evening at a curve on Highway No. 176 just west of the Walter L. Bryant farm place. Failure to make the turn at the highway curve caused the 1939 Ford pickup truck, owned and operated by Lindgren, to leave the road and overturn one and three-quarter times. The machine came to rest in a pasture on the south side of the highway, at a point about 140 feet from the place where the truck left the shoulder of the road. Mr. Lindgren was thrown from the truck, and his body rested about ten feet from where the truck stopped. The crash of the accident was heard by Leo C. Ruby and Walter L.
