Accident Victim Spe, Ta's (o,Y Nite
Tom Brown, a 32-year-old Sheltoli man escaped serious
injury Saturday night when his car plunged over a 25 foot
bank onto a Hood Canal beach five miles north of Hoodsport.
It was determined by investigating officers that he was
thrown from the vehicle when it struck a tree on the way
down.
Brown, suffering from facial cuts and bruises, mild
shock and exposure was not found until the following
morning wandering along highway 101 near the scene of
the accident. He was found by Floyd Barns of Bremerton
about 10 a.m. who was delivering newspapers along his
rural route.
Barns took the injured man to
Hoodsport where Ken Rose, Cap-
tain of the Mason Connty Slzerfff's
Reserve was notified along with
Stan Sushak of the Washington
State Patrol,
Brown was taken to Shelton
General Hospital for minor surgery
by Lynn Barnett of Tacoma who
was visiting relatives in the Hoods-
port area. Barnett and Brown were
met at the hospital by Rose and
Robert Trail, also of the sheriff's
reserve who returned to the area
area several times before we ac-
tually spotted it."
He also stated the car was ob-
viously a total wreck and doubted
that Brown would have survived
the crash had he not been thrown
clear of the vehicle.
A group of skin divers came
to the scene of the mishap by boat
and, according to .Rose "attempted
to salvage toe hies al
f h ", ld various
parts o t e car even though it
was not actually in the water. The
lug mlts oil the left front tire
were missing and they had ob-
viously been intentionally removed
