On the other hand, the party stopped and as- sisted in getting the woman to a hos- pital and the driver of the car, Donald Pettis, stayed at the hospital anxiously waiting for information asto her re- coverys/ This is the third death in the family within a year, a son being drowned a few months ago and a daughter pass- ing away recently.
