MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS KILLS ONE AND PUT ANOTHER IN HOSPITAL
Two young men, Carl Teel of White Salmon and Robert Leslie
of Trout Lake were victims of an unrelated motorcycle accidents during the
past week.
Carl Teel, 29, of White Salmon died at 9 p.m. Tuesday,
May 5 at Good Samaritan Hospital, Portland.
Leslie, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew O. Leslie of Trout
Lake, broke his leg Sunday afternoon, May 3, when his Honda struck a roadside
obstacle. He was given emergency treatment at Skyline and transferred to
Emanuel Hospital, Portland by Gardner's ambulance.
Teel was fatally injured last Thursday morning, April
30, when he lost control of his brother Bob's second hand Piaggo, purchased
at 9:30 a.m. before the accident which happened on Loop Road, midway between
the county shop and Trout Lake highway intersection.
According to Police Chief Ralph Walker, marks on the
asphalt indicate that the front wheel of Teel's cycle was lashing violently
from side to side for 60 feet before the machine hurtled off the roadway
and down the rocky north embankment.
Conscious, in spite of a bad head wound, Teel inched
his battered body back to the highway where passersby failed to see his cycle
and assumed he had been struck by a car.
Gardners ambulance took him to Skyline and thence to
Good Samaritan, Portland. When his mother, Mrs. Max Teel, saw him there she
couldn't recognize him - except by his hands.
He never regained consciousness after brain surgery.
Les Pardy of Bingen who broke his neck in a motorcycle-car
collision on April 7, was released from Good Samaritan on Saturday.
