coming from Holtville, he tried to
drop behind the tanker.
Due TO the slipperiness of the
pavement, the motorcycle skidded
and slid directly under the wheels
of the tanker. Ferris extricated
himself from the cycle just as the
wheels passed over it and found
himself on the left side of the
pavement directly in the path of
Fishers car.
Coming behind the tanker was
a car driven by George Woods,
San Diego. Woods, when he saw the
motorcycle directly in his
path swerved way to the left to
avoid striking it or Ferris. Fisher
drew away to the right on his
own side of the road. and the two
cars met head on off the pave
ment. No one was seriously in
jured but Ferris motorcycle was
completely crushed and the two
cars were damaged
The other accident took place
later in the evening, 10 miles west
of FL Centre on the San Diego
highway. A car in which F. A.
Qualls and L. Samuelson, both of
FL Cajon were riding, ran head on
into hay truck when they tried
to avoid striking another car which
was being backed onto the highway.
The two men were thrown from
their car and suffered cuts and
bruises. They were brought in to
La Solana hospital by Mr.. and Mrs.
j. F. Vaughn, San Diego, who pass
ed shortly after the collision, where
they received treatment for their
injuries.
