 | Death Car ran out of control 1963
"A coroner's jury said here Thursday that the evidence before it suggested that Harry Stanley Fogg of Los Angeles was not in control of his vehicle before the accident which killed him Aug. 31. Mr. Fogg died as a result of injuries received when his car was in collision with a parked car owned by Edward Hindman of Inglewood, Calif., near Banff's east park gate. Mrs. Fogg received facial injuries in the crash. Mr. and Mrs. Hindman testified that they saw the Fogg car headed toward theirs after it hit a warning light on the highway and it seemed to pick up speed. They were out of the car but Mrs. Hindman received a broken pelvis and Mr. Hindman a broken knee cap. Carol Dorschell, of 1815 5th St. S.W., Calgary, who was in a car following the Fogg car, said that it had been weaving for some distance and two oncoming cars had to go onto the shoulder to avoid it. At the brow of the hill just before the gate it "pulled away and shot down the hill," hit the light, and veered left, she said. Frederick John Turnbull of 170 Fyffe Road, Calgary, who was parked near the Hindman car, estimated the Fogg car's speed down the hill at 50 m.p.h." |
