TWO IN HOSPITAL,
CAR DEMOLISHED,
IN 6 A. M. CRASH
Jim Young and Colleen Magorty
are in St. Ann's hospital and Ray
Hurley’s 1949 Mercury sedan is de
molished as a result of an automo
bile accident at 6 o'clock this morn
ing on the Douglas Island side of
the Channel bridge.
Aubrey (Gene) D’Cafango, driver
of a Farwest Cab, saw the speeding
car ahead of him fail to make the
turn into the bridge and take a
plunge. He immediately called on
the cab radiophone for the ambu
lance, notified Juneau City police,
the Alaska Highway Patrol, Dr. J.
O. Rude, and Red Holloway.
The Mercury hit the guard rail,
cracked it, hurtled over to hit a
gangway to a beach cabin on piling,
landing on its top 160 measured feet
from where it left the road. It land
ed in about four feet of water.
Red Holloway, owner of the cab.
arrived on the scene almost immed
iately. He and Gene w rapped the two
victims in blankets and tried to stop
bleeding from the cuts sustained.
The girl walked away from the
wreck and insisted that she wanted
to be taken home. Her arms w-ere
bleeding badly, according to reports.
Police said that Young had a deep
five-inch gash on his head and they
feared he might have broken bones.
He was loaded into the ambulance
while Holloway took Miss Magorty
to the hospital.
Police said that the quick action
of the cab drivers probably saved
Young's life.
Highway Patrolman John Mon
agle measured the distance from
where the car left the road to where
it landed and found it to be 16C
feet. In its flight, the car had sailed
over a rowboat moored between
the approach to the bridge.
A wrecker from the Cowling Mot
or Co. retrieved the smashed sedan
from four feet of water. It appeared
to be a complete loss. Ray Hurley,
of the Juneau-Douglas Telephone
Co. and owner of the cat said that
he had loaned it to Young while he
was here installing the new Douglas
dial telephone system. He said the
car was insured.
Miss Magorty is the 15-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Susie Tyree who
is employed at the Alaska Laundry
here. Young is with the Stromberg
Carlson Co., a telephone equipment
company.
Attending physicians reported
Young was in fair condition but
weak from loss of blood and Miss
Magorty had received only cuts and
bruises and was not in a serious
condition.
