2 Teen-Agers Killed,
4 Hurt
in 1-Car Crash
Two teen-agers were killed and four
other youths injured Thursday night in a 1-car crash north of Columbus on River
road along the west side of Bakalar Air Force base near the New Hope road.
State police officers said the accident
occurred at high speed and they were investigating reports the youngsters all
had been drinking at a party here earlier.
Killed about 11 p.m. when their car
crashed through a utility pole at more than 90 miles an hour then flipped into
a ravine were:
-- Jerry Lynn Deiwert, 16, 3240
Hillcrest drive.
-- Amber Lee Ford, 15, Dayton,
Ohio. Miss Ford was here visiting her
mother, Mrs. Willis Lucas, 1641 South 31A.
The accident was the second double
fatality in the county in less than a week.
Seriously injured were Richard Lee
Henry, 15, 3322 Crescent way, and Dale Hubert Denny, 16, 2887 Streamside
drive. Both youths had "fairly
good" nights at the county hospital.
In fair condition at the hospital are
Richard Allen McKee, 19, Trafalgar route 1, and John Thompson, 20, Edinburg
route 2.
Thompson did not enter the hospital
until 8:25 a.m. today after he went there and told officials he was injured in
the accident. Previously authorities had
believed only five persons were in the 1967 Ford Mustang driven by Deiwert.
Trooper Paul Jewett of the state police
said today that police have information the occupants of the car had been to a
drinking party in Columbus and he added, "we know where."
"We haven't had a chance to get up
there yet and investigate," he said.
One of the youths admitted to the
hospital after the accident told the trooper the car was going north in excess
of 90 miles an hour, when the right wheels dropped off the recently resurfaced
road and it struck the utility pole on the east.
The car sheered off the pole and was
knocked back across the road on impact, rolling and flipping end - over - end
in a field.
It came to a stop on its wheels at the
bottom of a drainage ravine approximately 20 feet deep. The ravine drains water from Bakalar Air
Force base ground and crosses under River road about 2-tenths of a mile south
of the New Hope road. . . .
Authorities said Deiwert was killed
instantly of an apparent fractured skull and internal injuries, and Miss Ford
also died instantly of similar injuries.
All occupants of the car were thrown
out when the car crossed to the west side of the road and began to flip over,
except for Thompson, the one officers did not know was in the car. . . .
Funeral services for Miss Ford will be
at 1:30 p.m. Monday at the Reed funeral home.
Rites will be conducted by the Rev. Ralph Newell. Persons may call after 6 p.m. Saturday and
from 2 to 5 and 7 to 9 p.m. Sunday.
Born in Columbus Jan. 23, 1953, she was
the daughter of Lloyd R. and Janet Stewart Ford. She was a student at Wayne high school in
Dayton and a member of the Girl Scouts.
Surviving with her mother, now Mrs.
Willis Lucas of 1641 South 31A, and her father at Dayton, Ohio, are a sister,
Mrs. Ronald Daggett of 1631 South 31A; a half sister, Rebecca Lucas of 1641
South 31A; three half brothers, Ricky and Timothy Ford of Dayton, and Willis
Lucas of 1641 South 31A, and the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd A. Ford of
