Brosnan Jerry 431231 p7
Highway Walker Struck By Car Dies Of Injury; Crows Landing, Dec. 30. �  Jerry Brosnan, ranch worker here for
several years, died Christmas morning in a Modesto hospital from injuries received when he was struck by a hit-run
driver shortly after midnight. The accident occurred on the Crows Landing-Modesto highway, almost directly in front of
the home of H. C. Tucker, probably between 12:30 and 1 a. m., as the sound of the blow was heard in the Charles A.
Filippini home nearby. It appeared that other cars had passed the scene soon afterward, each veering to one side of the
man on the pavement, but not stopping,  First to stop was Hildrico Martin and he was joined by others. Highway
Patrolman E.. L. McCabe was called, and the Davis  ambulance summoned to take Brosnan to the West Side Hospital for
emergency treatment, after which he was moved to Modesto. McCabe could find no broken glass or other parts of a
machine at the scene and reports that there is no clue as to the identity of the driver of the death vehicle. A truck driver
reported that he had seen Brosnan walking east on the road shortly after midnight, almost in the center of the pavement.
Brosnan was returning to the Isom ranch at the time, he having been employed there to care for chickens belonging to
Stanton Wallis, who was hurt in an auto accident near Willets last week.
