Three Escape
Death rap
A twenty year old couple and their baby girl nar
rowly escaped death Tuesday night when a low berm
on Route 44 a couple of miles north of Chardon tossed
their car off the road onto the lawn of the Wayne
Trask residence and against a tree.
Sandra Tracy, driver of the car, is in Geauga Co
mmunity hospital today suffering lacerations. Her
husband, Dennis and baby, Terri, were only shaken up.
Fresh asphalt is being added to the surface of
Route 44, lowering the berm further from the
roadside. Mrs. Tracy was driving the light car towards
home in Chardon from Painesville. To avoid the bump
in the center she kept to the right of the road. Her
i wheels went off the pavement and she was unable to
I pull the car back onto the road. When her husband
helped pull at the steering wheel the car jumped a
cross the pavement, through a ditch, across a lawn and
crashed into a tree.
Two cars were demolished Tuesday afternoon
when Mrs. Joan Stebic, 47, of 1575 Wilson Mills road
tried to make a left turn from Route 306 into Wilson
Mills Road. Her car, headed north, was hit by a car
driven by Thomas Jicka of Chagrin Falls. Both' cars
were listed as total loss by the sheriff’s department.
Also damaged was the nearby car of Ray D. Law,
whose hood and front end were damaged by flying
parts.
