BOWLING GREEN COUPLE GOES     | OYER STEEP BANK INTO RIVER
*
J Driver Loses Control of Car On I     Rounding Curve and Lands in the Shallow River
This  community  was  aroused from its lethargy   Sunday   after* noon when the news spread   that a Cadillac sedan   had  gone  over the steep river bank at the curve near the Kerbel  home  on  Route 105. about two miles east  of  El¬ more, and carried with  it  an  el¬ derly man and his wife of   Bowl¬ ing Green.    Later it was learned that he was a rural mail  carrier out  of   Bowling  Green,   by   the name of CharlesJAjldenderfex» 63. They   had  been  down  in   the peach belt and weie returning to Bowling Green with peaches. On rounding the curve after passing the  Kerbel  home  tbeir car ran ^uff the pavement into the  gravel * on the outside of the  curve.    In coming back onto  the  pavement i the  car  seemed  to  have  turned ibalf  way   round   and  then   slid sidewise arcoss  the  road  to  the [inside of the curve and  over the 25-foot embankment into the Por¬ tage river,    The car  apparently <j landed  on   its  top,   which    was | crushed, and rolled over into the ! shallow river, coming   to  rest   a- \ gainst a big rock in   the  stream. On this same rock a boy was   sit-i j ting and fishing until he saw the! •; car come over the bank, when he 'jumped   into  the  middle of  the , river for safety.    It is  a   miracle y that the occupants of the car were not killed but when   rescued   she was found to have   suffered   only 'minor injuries.   His injuries were more serious for he had some bad .gashes on the  head,   some  body bruises md an injury to his back that seemed to paralyze the bodv' from the hips down.    Last report i'was that he would recover but  it, ' was feared he would never regain the use of his limbs.    The  acci¬ dent occurred between three  andh i four o'clock in the afternoon and •after first aid by Dr. G.   P.   Wit- ! lett both   Mr.   and   Mrs.   Allien- |derfer were taken, in H. E.  Bur- ! mann's ambulance; to a  hospital in Bowling Green.
