tied up Anchorage-Palmer traffic

toward Palmer, entered the ap
proach to the one-way bridge as
an Anchorage-bound vehicle driv
en by Harrison Marth drove on
the opposite end. Mrs. Trudell’s
brakes failed and she was unable
to stop her car.
She elected to chance a head-on
crash, rather than turn her auto
mobile through the bridge railing,
rhe woman was accompanied by
ner two small children.
Mr. Marth realized a collision
vas imminent and hurriedly set
tiis brakes. The sudden stop
caused Fermin Strickland, driving
aehind him, to smash into the
Vlarth automobile. Seconds later,
VIrs. Trudell’s machine hit it
lead-on. The Strickland auto
nobile suffered a second blow,
vhen Marth’s machine was jarred
ay the impact of the head-on col
ision.
All three vehicles were serious
y damaged, but none of the pas
sengers was injured. Mrs. Tru
lell, an expectant mother, was
lospitalized briefly. One of the
:hildren was treated for cuts and
acerations.
No charges were filed by any
