Slippery road, resulting from a heavy rain, is said to have been the cause of the accidents. The dead man is Herbert W. Utter, 31, of Cory, Indiana, who was instantly killed when pinned under his auto when it skidded off the highway and overturned. Utter’s neck was broken in the crash. Alvin Strauss of St. Louis, travelling with Utter, is in Wyoming General hospital recovering from a lacerated scalp and a bruised and contused back. Utter and Strauss were en route east from California when the accident happened, according to information given county authorities here. Strauss was sharing expense of their trip with Utter as far as his home in St. Louis. Strauss told authorities here he was looking at a road map at the time the machine began skidding. While every effort was made by Utter to keep the car on the road, Strauss declared, the vehicle left the highway and overturned 1 ½ times, coming to rest on its top. Both men were pinned under the machine. Mrs. Sarah Burns of Redwood, Calif., and George W. Stevens, Jr., of Ferris, Illinois, are recovering at Wyoming General hospital from injuries received when the car in which they were riding skidded off the highway and overturned three times. The driver of the vehicle, although badly shaken up, was not injured. The machine is said to be a total wreck. Mrs. Burns is suffering with bruises and lacerations on her face, a sprained back and lacerations on both knees. Stevens received a knee laceration and slight contusion about the head and neck. The two accidents happened within a short distance of each other. The car in which Mrs. Burns and Stevens were riding overturned first. The driver of the machine told authorities here he saw the Utter car turn over but was too dazed and shocked from his own accident to offer any aid. Passing motorists brought injured members of both accidents to the hospital here. No inquest will be conducted into Utter’s death, according to County Coroner J. Warden Opie. Utter is married. His wife, Helen, is visiting in California.
