Truck Turns OUer,
Driuer Not Hurt

A fourteen-wheel truck, driven by
c. Davenport, turned over shortly
after midnight last night when the
driver lost control and ran off the
highway three and one half miles
north OF Imperial. Davenport was
unhurt.
Hauling a load of 10 tons of scrap
iron and junk, Davenport found it
impossible to bring the vehicle back
onto the road when the wheels sank
into the soft shoulder. His efforts to
regain control of the heavy truck
and to edge it back onto the pave
ment caused it to turn turtle.
