REIN, Mack, Martin and Storz were
riding in Mr., Reim's car along the

They were following right behind Ny

good condition and il is said both
cars were travelling at a rapid clip
There is a point in the road where
sharp turn follows a rise over a
knoll. As a result the turn is almost
hidden to the driver. Aygaard, how

was right on top Of it. He threw on
the brakes, but couldn't stop and the
car side-slipped over a high enbank-

Storz out of the car and pinning REIN
underneath.
