JOSEPH CALDRONE

Jenners Man Fatally Injured When Car Upset

Joseph Caldrone Dead and Joseph Donio Badly Injured - Accident Due to Blow Out 
of Tire

  One man was fatally injured and another badly hurt when a car occupied by a 
party of five cherry pickers was overturned on the Lincoln Highway near 
Stoyestown last Sunday noon.  The accident is attributed to the blowing out of a 
tire when the car was running about 40 miles an hour.
  The man who sustained fatal injuries was Joseph Caldrone, aged 45 years, of 
Jenners.
  Caldrone suffered a punctured lung, fractures of the skull, right leg and 
several ribs, lacerations of the scalp, forehead, face and left hand and a 
fracture of the third finger of the left hand.  He was taken to Memorial 
Hospital, Johnstown, where he died at 9:10 a.m. Monday.
  Joseph Donio, also of Jenners, sustained lacerations of the right knee and an 
injury to the right shoulder.  He was given surgical attention at the office of 
Dr. A. M. Uphouse, of Stoyestown, where Caldrone also was given first-aid before 
being sent to the hospital.
  Three other men in the cherry-picking party escaped uninjured.  Jack Donio, 
aged 22, a brother of Joseph Donio and nephew of Caldrone, was at the wheel of 
the car when the accident happened.
