The following two articles appeared in the October 20, 1961 Michigan City (Indiana) News Dispatch:

SEVENTH OCTOBER VICTIM

Victor C. Schultz, 49, R. R. 2, Box 91, was fatally injured in a one car accident in Trail Creek at 4:50 yesterday afternoon.

Schultz became the 31st person to die in LaPorte County traffic fatalities this year and the seventh this month.

Police said Schultz suffered a crushed chest when the front bumper of his car land on him after he had been thrown out.

Before Schultz was tossed from the vehicle, it knocked down a Nothern Indiana Public Service Co., utility pole and lines. Much of the area was temporarilty withought electrical power part of the evening as a result of the accident.

The crash was heard and sparks from the felled wires (were) observed several blocks from the accident scene--E. Michigan Street just west of Warnke Road. The mishap occured just a few feet outside Michigan City's limits. At the location, the center of Michigan Street is the boundary line between Trail Creek and Michigan City.

Patrolman Jack Wilson of the Michigan City police department investigated the accident. He said Schultz's eastbound auto went off the right side of the highway, travelled about 25 feet, knocked down the utility pole, traveled another 50 feet, rolled over throwing the driver out, and came to a rest on its wheels facing the highway.

The read of the car was on an incline, police said, and the front bumper pinned the driver to the ground. He could not be removed until a tow truck arrived and the bumper was lifted off him.

Schultz was pronounced dead on arrival at Doctors Hospital.

The victim was the father of three boys and one girl. One of his sons came upon the accident and was a witness to the attempted rescue operatio

The county's fatality toll for 1961 is rapidly approaching the total for 1960 at the same date. At this time last year, 33 persons had been killed in county traffice accidents.

With 19 days elapsed, October already has equalled the total for the previous worth traffic month in the county---August when seven persons were killed. More than half to the county's traffice fatalities for 1961---16 of them----have occurred since August 1.
