Woman succumbs after auto crash.
Ely, July 25.
Mrs. Lew B. Collum of San Jose, Calif., died Friday afternoon a few hours after the GMC
pickup truck she was driving went out of control and plunged off the highway about 10
miles north of Schellbourne station on highway 50, about 50 miles from Ely.
Her husband was knocked unconcious but was not hospitalized. He said that the accident
occurred in the mid-afternoon, and no one came along to offer assistance until nearly 2
p.m.
The Collums were en route to Kansas on a vacation trip.
I don't know if the Nevada Highway Patrol would keep records that long or even where
you could try to find them. You might try Ely Nevada Highway Patrol if such a place
exists.
Good Luck,
Arline in Reno
