Accident Snuffs Out Three Lives
A disastrous accident that snuffed out three lives and injured four others, 
occurred, at about: 6:20 p, m. last Thursday just 10 miles east of Mojave.
One car, coming toward Mojave and carrying four Douglas air workers, swung 
out to pass a truck parked partly on the highway, and skidded into another car 
headed east. The resulting crash caused the death of two of the Douglas workers 
instantly and another man died en route to the hospital,
The men, Charles S. Crow, Charles E. Hobbs, and Harold T. Daniels, were 
residents of Santa Monica and Venice: The injured, Ervin Dowell, of San 
Francisco; Mr. and Mrs. James Frazier of Alameda, and Alfred D. Curtis, of 
Venice, were all taken to the Mojave hospital for treatment by the O'Donnell 
Funeral Home ambulance.
The three bodies were shipped to Santa Monica by the O'Donnell Funeral Home, 
for bunal there.
