SECOND FATALITY WITHIN 24 HOURS

Arthur G. Banks Killed In Crash West of Burrton

Harvey County's second fatal highway accident within 24 hours Monday night took 
the life of Arthur G. Banks, 42-year-old Burrton oil field worker.

Banks was killed instantly shorly after 8 o'clock as he drove his automobile in 
front of a gasoline transport truck at the curve on highway 50S, west of 
Burrton. The truck was owned and driven by L. T. Shaffer of Great Bend.

Investigators from the sheriff's office and state highway patrolmen said Banks 
apparently had planned to continue west on the dirt road off the slab and 
misjudged the closeness of the transport as it approached him from the north on 
the curve. The two vehicles collided virtually head on and Banks' car was 
practically demolished, Shaffer was unhurt.

Banks' body was removed to the McFall mortuary at Burrton.

His was the fifth fatality on county highways this year.

Burrton Oil Field Worker Dies in Car-Truck Collision

When the car which he was driving crashed into a gasoline transport at the 
round corner a mile and a half west of Burrton Monday night, Arthur G. Banks, 
Burrton oil field worker, was instantly killed. The accident occurred at 8:15, 
and it is believed that he misjudged the speed of the truck at the south end of 
the curve, as he attempted to drive straight west on to the dirt road at the 
intersection.

The transport was driven by L. T. Shaffer, owner, of Great Bend, who was not 
injured. The truck pushed Banks car, a '36 Ford sedan, about 60 feet from the 
point of impact.

Mr. Banks had lived here for the past 6 years, working as a pumper for Sunrae 
Oil Co. He was 37. He is survived by his wife, one son, Bill, one grandson, 
Arthur, his parents, four brothers and two sisters. He and his wife lived on 
the Teten lease northwest of town, and his son and family had recently moved to 
Odessa, Tex.

Funeral services were held this afternoon at the Methodist church with Rev. 
Glenn Matthew in charge. Burial was in Burrton cemetery.

Transcriber's Note: This article states Mr. Banks was 37. He was actually 43 
(see obit).
