5 PERSONS INJURED IN TWO-CAR COLLISION ON
JERSEY RIDGE ROAD
Five persons were injured in a head-on two-automobile
collision on Jersey Ridge road near the farm of Dr. Charles
Murrey early Monday evening. Late last night two persons
were reported injured in a two-automobile crash on Fifth
street near the YMCA.
Deputy sheriffs said cars driven by Leo J. Haren Jr., 38,
of Route 3 and Stanley R. Merkle, 53, of Hopewell Route 1
collided on a curve at the crest of a hill in Jersey Ridge road.
All five were taken to Bethesda Hospital, most in a DeLong
and Baker ambulance.
Injured in the Haren car were the driver who was dismissed
after treatment for a puncture wound on his left forearm, and a
bump on his left leg; and his wife, Edna Haren, 28, who was
admitted for treatment of cuts on her face, and pain in her left
leg and right hand.
In the Merkle auto, the driver suffered bruises on his chest
and abdomen and was treated and dismissed; his daughter,
Delores Merkle, 19, of Hopewell Route 1, was admitted for
treatment of severe cuts on her scalp and forehead, and Roger
Secrist, 19, of Hopewell Route 1 was admitted for treatment of
a severe face cut.
Both cars were towed from the scene.
