Radio Man Escapes injury on Highway

Joel Burlington, manager of radio station KIBH, tells how he escaped injury when his car skidded off the road and turned over about two miles south of Girdwood Monday morning.
 He was driving at about 35 miles an hour along a sharp un- banked curve, Burlington says, when he skidded suddenly The car made two complete turns on the road before toppling off and down an almost vertical drop of about 40 feet, turning complete ly over once and landing on it's wheels. The driver and his pas Sengers, MT. and Mrs. Lynn Slower of Anchorage, all in the front seat, were unhurt. A pass ing car took the Stovers back to Anchorage and MT. Buffing- ton went into GirdWood to call a towing car.
 Burlington was walking to the north end of the curve to place flare when an Alaska Freight Lines tractor and semi-trailer van swung into the curve. The driver began applying brakes but the van sWayed and veered back and forth across the road, hitting the Wrecker which had been working on the ditched car, spinning it around in the road, and finally the trailer van itself plunged over the same embank- ment about 200 feet beyond. They expected the truck driver to be killed, Burlington says, but he too was uninjured. Edward w. Montgomery, driver of the freight truck, had a record of 100000 miles without an acci- dent. Burlington has been driv- ing for 21 years, also without an accident, and both rerget the loss of their record.
 MT. Burlington was most in dignant at an article in an An chorage paper describing the ac- cident and saying his car went into d h." If that is a ditch the Seward man exclaim- ed, then I never want to see anything worse" Preliminary estimate of damage to his car was placed at 5000. Damages to the wrecker truck and to the freight truck have not been stated.

 Other freight truck drivers discovered the accident and were working to extricate the driver within a short time of the accident. Reports from the hos pital at noon today are to the eff feet that MT. Berck is resting comfortably" He suffered frac- lures of the nose and pelvis and internal injuries.

Cars, Truck, von In
 Tieup At Clear Creek

Shortly after noon last Sun day an Alaska Freight Lines trailer van tangled with pick up truck owned by Ben Suddath and two Ford cars. It seemed almost miraculous that no one was injured in the smash up, that left one car and the truck in what appeared to be a total loss and the van in the ditch. One car, driven by I. Kalmikof, was headed north and most ser iously damaged.
 Witnesses told reporters that the van passed another of the company's huge vans northbound at Clear Creek bridge and in an apparent attempt to slow down began to whip across the icy curve, moments later had struck the other cars, at least one of which was parked, then jumped the embankment and lodged in the ditch. Suddath said that he saw what was hap pening and ran to snow bank out of danger before his truck was hit.
 In no time crowd assembled to stand in the 20 degree cold to watch efforts to release the big van from it's nearly vertical position, which took several hours of hard work.
