Car Hits Tree
On Route 142;; No
Witnesses Found

Madison County counted its
eighth fatal traffic accident late
Thursday when Floyd Johnston,
So, of Columbus died when his
automobile struck tree a few
miles east of London on Route
142.
Johnston had been to London on
business for the American Jersey
Cattle Club, of which he was Sec
retary. He was driving back to Co
lumbus alone when the fatal acci-
dent occurred. No eyewitnesses
were reported by sheriff's deput-
les Flanagan and Henry, who in
vestigated the wreck.
According to the reports, Johns
ton was travelling east when his
automobile veered off the road
and struck a tree on the left hand
side of the road.
This is the first fatality on the
countys highways since early in
August, bringing the years total
to eight. Traffic officers were
lauding the driving public for
nearly two months of fatality free
driving.
Officers have repeatedly warn
ed the public to be particularly
cautious when driving SO as to
keep down the traffic toll. They
have been pleased with the COM
paratively few accidents so far
this year, but warn that additional
fatalities can come as the winter
and late fall weather makes driv-
ing more hazardous.
Madison County Coroner w. T.
Bacon said JohnstoH's death was
the result of fractured skull.
