summons police said. According to Police Officer Elwood Chambers, the Browns 
were coming from the Hadley Funeral Home where they had been paying their 
respects to the family of Elwood D. Patrick. Cars were parallel parked along both 
sides of the street and there were patches of ice. Police said Leroy Malone was 
an eyewitness. He was driving east on E. Benton. Armstrong was traveling west 
on E. Benton. Chambers said that according to reports it appeared that Mr. and 
Mrs. Brown walked between two parked cars and were attempting to cross the 
street. They could have been blinded by car lights or concentrating on the icy 
spots covering the street, Chambers related. The Armstrong vehicle struck the 
couple throwing Mrs. Brown approximately five feet, and Mr. Brown backward. The
