THREE YOUTHS KILLED AS CAR LEAVES ROAD
Three Vincennes youths were fatally injured Thursday in a one-car crash on IL. 33, about four miles north of the junction of old U.S. 50 at Westport. The car, out of control, struck a tree.
Victims of the wreck were Miss Clarisse Hendricks, 18, of 506 South Seventh, Miss Jacquelyn Kay Pritchard, 18, of 604 South Tenth, and George G. Ivers, 21, of Route 5.
Illinois state trooper Frank Groves said the accident occurred about 7:50 p.m., and that Ivers and Miss Hendricks were killed instantly.
Groves said Ivers was the driver of the convertible, and that the girls were riding in the front seat. He said the car was going south, and that the three earlier had been visiting in Russellville, IL.
Ivers lost control of the car and it left the pavement to the right shoulder. It traveled some 150 feet off the road before hitting a tree head-on, Groves said.
The impact threw Ivers and Miss Hendricks from the car, and Miss Pritchard was thrown into the rear seat, Groves said. Miss Pritchard was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where she died of her injuries at 9:59 p.m.
Groves said the car apparently was traveling at a high rate of speed, and that it was totally wrecked.
