TALBOT, Daniel Glen - Fountain County INGenWeb Project

Daniel Glen Talbot of Mellott, 30-year-old father of 7 children was instantly killed about 3 p.m. Tuesday when his auto struck a bridge abutment on Highway 55 west of Newtown.  An employee of Harrison Steel Casting Co at Attica, Talbott was en route to work when the tragic accident occurred. Indiana State Police and Fountain County Coroner Charles Fishero of Veedersburg investigated the crash. They said the Talbott auto was meeting a truck driven by Donald Aker of Crawfordsville as the car approached the narrow bridge.  In attempting to stop his auto rather than attempt to pass the truck on the bridge, the car crashed into the abutment.
