- Myron Bauer Killed Near Cushing
Struck by Car While Working on Highway 20 Services Held Saturday
Myron Bauer, 45, of Ida Grove, son of John Bauer of Odebolt was killed Wednesday morning while working for the State Highway commission on Highway 20 about a half mile east of Cushing. He died about 30 minutes after he was hit on the highway by a car driven by James E. Carlson, a Sioux City salesman.
Mr. Bauer was crossing the highway to the Highway Commision gravel truck which was parked on the north shoulder of the highway when he was struck by the east bound car.
He died before he could be moved to a hospital. He received broken legs, skull and internal in- juries as he was tossed over the hood into the windshield, breaking out the windshield.
He apparently saw the oncoming car too late to more than jump backward in an attempt to get out of the way.
Fred Johnson, also of Ida Grove, was working with him at the time of the accident. They were setting marking posts on the south side of the highway at the time of the accident.
Patrolman Dale Wilson, Cherokee; County Sheriff, Joe Houser; and Deputy sheriff John Kollbaum Investigated the accident.
