Head-on Crash Near Co. Line Kills Four Men
Two Edwards Air Force Base Airmen and two Lancaster youths died as a result of a 
head-on auto crash late Monday night on Highway 6, near the Kern County line.
Killed out-right were airman, Jerry F. Mahon, 202, and T/Sgt. John S. Sutyak of 
EAFB, and Martin H. Rini of 44008 N. Cedar in Lancaster. The fourth victim, Boss 
Anderson, 18, also of Lancaster died Tuesday morning in the Antelope Valley 
Hospital.
The California Highway Patrol in reconstructing the fatal accident, said the car with 
the airmen in it was northbound and Mahan was believed to have been the driver. 
Young Rini was thought to be the driver of the other car.
Also hurt in the tragic crash, were Lee C. Hereshkoff and Donald F. Purdue, who 
were said to be critically injured.
  Martin Rini was a brother of Miss Frances Rini who was "Miss Lancaster of 1956" 
in the Antelope Valley Fair Queen Contest.
