Fidler, 19, driving a 1957 Pontiac, was alone in the car headed south on Indiana 313. The Pollock car, a 1961 Buick LaSabre station wagon, was headed north. The collision, which drove the engines of both cars back through the firewalls into the front seats, happened about midway between U. S. 33 and U. S. 6 on a straight stretch of blacktop pavement near county road 43. Semi Indirectly Involved A 1957 International semi-tractor trailer driven by Larry Stauffer, 26, r 1 Syracuse, was involved indirectly in the crash. Stauffer who resides less than a mile from the crash site, drove east on county road 146 and made a right turn south. He was en route to Maumee, Ohio, with a load of beans.

said, “I was heading south about SO--35 miles an hour. Had it in third gear. I saw the (Pollock) car coming toward me, and then in a flash I saw the headlights from the other car (Fidler’s) in the side mirror. I did not know there was a car behind me.” Fidler apparently came up behind the truck and pulled over in the east lane in an attempt to pass. Stauffer told investigating officers, state trooper Billy B. Jones and Elkhart deputy sheriff Leßoy Yoder, “they must have been right along the back dual wheels of the trailer when they hit. I saw the back end of one car go up in the air.” Tom Swartz, 729 Front street, Syracuse, was northbound behind the Pollock car and saw the accident from a distance. He was able to brake his car to avoid ramming the two wrecked autos which blocked his lane of travel. Stauffer stopped his truck and ran to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Steffen who reside nearby and tele-1 phoned authorities. Fireman Glenn Weaver and Dan Delcamp took Paul Pollock to the Goshen hospital in the Elkhart county first aid ambulance. Young Pollock was riding in the rear seat of the station wagon, the impact hurled him forward and he was found on the floor of the wrecked car. A crowbar and other tools were used by officers to pry apart the wreckage to remove the bodies. Tentative identification of the vic tims was made through drivers license after the bodies were removed. HAROLD L. POLLOCK Harold L. Pollock, 55, 601 south Harrison street. Syracuse, was bom at Cromwell July 16, 1910, the son of Henry and Elizabeth Pollock. He ■had been a resident of Syracuse 49 years, moving here from Albion. He married Dorothy Weeks on July 16. 1932.
