Two of the passengers of the automobile were Dulled from the flaming wreckage by the driver of the truck and were carried to a Henderson hospital where they died later in the day, but efforts to remove the others were futile on account of the intensity of the heat which spread from the gas covered car and reduced their bodies to ashes. The dead are Woodrow Inciter, 24, a farmer; his wife, Mrs. Woodrow Tucker, 23; George Newell, 21; J. P. Kimball Jr., 24; William Carr Tucker, 22. all of Townsville, and Miss Margaret Willis, 20, of South Jacksonville, Fla., who had been spending several days as the guest of Miss Helen Watkins in Palmer Springs. Newell lived a few hours after reaching the Henderson hospital and Mrs. Tucker died there Tuesday night. The accident occurred on a slight curve with vision unobstructed when the automobile, which evidence disclosed was traveling at an excessive rate of speed on the wrong side of the road, crashed into the front of a truck loaded with apples and being driven by Albert Quillings of Orlando, Fla. Neither Quillings nor Rase Sanford of Orlando, the owner of the truck who was riding with him, was hurt in the collision, but turnings was journea aoout we hands tod arms as he pulled Mrs. Tucker and Newell from the blazing wreckage. As the car ploughed into the truck it tore off a gasoline tank on the side of the truck, changed ends and skidded off the highway on a wide shoulder, a flaming hulk. The highway and truck were also sprayed with gasoline and bunt Into flames. The truck ran across the highway" on the left shoulder, Its left front wheel being torn down in the crash. Quillings testified that when he saw the car coming at a rapid rate of speed on his side of the road that he pulled the truck several feet off the highway. He stated that he dashed to the flaming wreck and extricated Mrs. Tucker and George Newell. Mrs. Tucker was blazing at the time but her clothes were torn from her body, saving her for the time being. Newell was pulled from the car after his clothes had been burn ed off. They were riding on tne front seat of the coach. Sanford was asleep in the cab of the truck at the time of the accident and by the time he became sufficiently aroused to discover what had happened, he was too late to aid in the rescue of those in the burning automobile. J. C. Collins and Cleveland Brldgers, who live near the scene, rushed to aid. Brldgers said the highway was blazing with a film of gasoline for many feet, and that the car was enveloped in flames. He mme to the side of the car and saw those on the back seat, believed to be Carr Tucker, Miss Willis and J. P. Kimball, two of them struggling to break out. He said he bodies were so entwined that rescue was impossible. Heat forced the rescuers back. Brldgers stated that Mrs. Tucker was conscious when taken from the gpreck. and that he assisted in wringing her to the Henderson hospital. He said she told him her lusband, Woodrow Tucker, was iriving the car. He said Mrs. rucker talked on the way to the lospital, telling of her relatives, and vhom to notify of the crasb. She vas said to have recognized a nurse it the hospital. According to Bridgers, Newell lad a hole in his head, and his :lothing was practically burned 'rom his body.
