JOHN C. MOLES DIES AS RESULT OF CAR-CRASH

John Moles, 80, of Glenwood died Friday, Jan. 17, of injuries received when he was struck by a Job Corps vehicle about a mile west of Glenwood on the Draper Spring road. Driver of the 1965 Dodge Carryall was Freddy Briceno, 17, of Yakima, who has been in the Forest Simcoe Job Corps a little over a year. Neither he nor his two passengers, David Hynson and Alfred Washington, both 17, were injured.
The boys in the Carryall were enroute to the county dump with a load of garbage. It was snowing and visibility was poor. When they came upon the man walking in the road the driver swerved to the left to avoid him and applied his brakes. The vehicle skidded to the right and struck the elderly man. After freeing his foot from the bumper, one boy remained with the victim, while the other two sent to the Ranger station for help and to summon an ambulance and an officer from Goldendale.
Moles, whose left leg was broken, was carried about 150 feet to his house. He died about half an hour after leaving Glenwood in the ambulance on the way to Goldendale.
Deputy Sheriff Elmer Sikes and State Trooper R.W. Bos investigated the accident. No charges were filed. Damage to the vehicle was minor.
