Another fatality was chalked up for auto-accidents in Kern County on Wednesday 
morning, July 14, at 6:20 a.m.
Rose Gerbo of Redwood City, Calif., was pronounced dead on arrival at the

investigating officer K. D. La Marr that she fell asleep and lost control of the car.
Paulette Goehring, 11, of San, Bernardino, also passenger, suffered shock, but was 
otherwise unharmed in the accident.
O'Donnll ambulance brought both the driver and passengers to Mojave Medical 
Center where Mrs. Potter was treated for critical injuries.
