OBITUARY

RLT STUDENT DIES IN CAR-TRAIN CRASH
R. L. Turner High School was shocked as it received the sad news that one of its students had been killed in a car-train collision. Linda Hansen, a pretty Freshman, was dead on arrival at Parkland Hospital after her mother's station wagon collided with a northbound, 45 car, Frisco Freight Train at the intersection of Royal Lane and the Frisco Railway, just four blocks below Linda's home.
Alvin, age 9 years, who sustained critical injuries, died Thursday. Linda's remaining brother Charles, and sister Ambra are reported in critical condition. The 10 month old child was released from Parkland Wednesday afternoon.
Also in the Hansen car was James Cofield who received minor injuries.
The students in expression of their sincere sympathy have collected approximately $180 to be given to the family.
