Two Huntingdon area young men were killed last night when the motorcycle
they were riding crashed into the rear of a station wagon near the
Huntingdon Fairgrounds. The accident victims, both dead on arrival at
the J.C. Blair Memorial Hospital, were identified by State Police as
Ronald Ralph Dean, 23, Huntingdon, R.D.1 and Ronald L. Shawver, 23, of
625 Sixth Street, Huntingdon. Both are married men. The 1965 BSA
motorcycle on which the men were travelling on the Fairgrounds Road at
10:50 p.m., was demolished in the grinding collision, damage being $600.
State Police today are continuing their investigation of the double
fatality. There were no eyewitnesses to the crash and State Trooper
Kenneth Schlelden said he had not determined who was operating the
cycle. The machine belonged to Shawver. Dr. Harry H. Negley, Huntingdon
County coroner, said both men suffered fractured skulls and fractured
necks. In addition, each man had a broken leg and multiple injuries,
including fractured facial bones. Shawver's body was found on the bank
on the east side of the highway, 20 1/2 feet from the edge of the road
and 40 feet north of the demolished vehicle. Dean's body was draped on
the guard fence along the side of the road, 20 feet north of the cycle.
Trooper Schlelden said the motorcycle was southbound on the Fairgrounds
Road, Legislative Route 31034, in Smithfield Township, 1.5 miles south
of Huntingdon. Clarence I. Fisher, of Hesston, R.D.1, operating a 1967
International Scout station wagon, also was southbound, having just
pulled from the southern entrance to the fairgrounds. Suddenly the
motorcycle ploughed into the rear end of the station wagon causing an
estimated $800 damage. The battered motorcycle must have gone down at
once since there are gouge marks in the macadam for a distance of more
than 70 feet where the cycle continued in a southeasterly direction
until it hit the guard fence on the east side of the road. When it
stopped, it was facing north, the direction from which it came. The rear
of the cycle was wedged under the bottom steel cable with the rear wheel
and fender partially wrapped around a steel upright. Fisher was not
injured in the mishap. Shawver was an employe of Owens-Corning Fiberglas
at Huntingdon, while Dean worked for the Department of Highways. The
Huntingdon fireman's ambulance was summoned and it rushed the critically
injured men to the hospital where they were pronounced dead. State
Troopers Arthur L. Brown and George Plafcan assisted in the
investigation and in traffic control at the scene of the fatality.
Traffice was a problem for a time since the accident happened when the
fairgoers were leaving the exposition grounds located just north of the
accident scene. Ronald Lee Shawver, was born December 13, 1943, in
