Mansfield, Ohio, Jan. 30. -- Pennsylvania train No. 9, westbound, today struck and killed MRS. ROY COVERT and mortally injured her husband at a crossing near Loudonville. Proceeding further, the train struck an automobile on the outskirts of Crestline, a few miles away, and killed J. H. SIGLER, aged 60, and CHARLES ECHELBERGER, both of Hayesville.
In the automobile with ECHELBERGER and SIGLER was CURTIS DOERRER of Mansfield. DOERRER'S shoulder was crushed, his leg was broken, and he received internal injuries.
The young woman who was the first to meet death on the track was on her way, with her husband, to visit a neighbor. Her death was instant. COVERT was picked up many yards away, and does not know of his wife's death.
The automobile party, struck at Leas Crossing, came upon the tracks in their machine from the rear of an eastbound freight, directly in front of the express. In an instant their machine was lifted high in the air. When it fell SIGLER and ECHELBERGER were dead. Their bodies were brought to Mansfield. DOERRER, the injured man, was taken to a Crestline hospital.
