riding crashed into a tree at the bottom of the east side of Warrior Ridge
on route 22 west of Huntingdon.

the roof or sides remained intact.
Hundreds of persons viewd the wreckage today and agreed with Officer Russell
in that it was the worst wreck ever viewed.
Coroner W. B. WEST, M.D., stated today that he would conduct an
investigation of the accident with the Motor Police and decide as to whether
an inquest will be held at a later date.
The accident occurred at 1:50 a.m. near what is commonly known as "Fiddler’s
Green."  The car was traveling east, down the ridge, and left the right side
of the road and sideswiped a tree 10 inches in diameter.  The right front
door of the car apparently hit the tree first and from that point back the
body was entirely wiped from the chassis.
The right front door of the car was wrapped around the tree, while the right
rear door was found on the left side of the highway in the woods 30 yards
away.  The lid of the trunk on the rear of the Miller car was found by
Officer Russell on the right side of the road 40 yards from the point where
the car struck the tree.  Parts of the upholstering were found in the
branches of the tree 10 feet from the ground.
Isenberg and Hummel were riding in the rear seat a the time the accident
happened.
The party left Huntingdon about 9:45 last evening, drove to Waterstreet,
then to Duncansville and then to a point near Bedford where they turned.
Returning to Duncansville they went to Altoona and then started for
Huntingdon by way of Tyrone.
Clifford N. STEVENS of Albertus, Lehigh county, a truck driver heading west,
was the only eyewitness to the tragedy.  Stevens told Officer Russell he
observe the Miller car approaching at a high rate of speed.  At first the
car started over gradually to
the ---------------------------------------started back to the right side of
the road gradually, but the driver failed to right the car and it continued
until it struck the tree with the full force of its speed.  There were no
skid marks on the highway to indicate that Miller attempted to stop the car
before the crash.
Miller is suffering from abrasions to the forehead, deep cuts on the hands
and legs and deep face cuts.
Hummel is suffering from deep lacerations of the right hand, a fractured
right leg between the knee and ankle and body bruises.
