  A 16-year-old Somerton boy died in a Norfolk hospital Sunday afternoon, four 
hours after his car collided with another one on U.S. 13, a mile and a half 
north of Whaleyville. 

  Haywood Eugene Fowler, a sophomore at Nansemond-Suffolk Academy, driving 
north on the narrow highway, collided with a southbound car driven by Percy

wreck.
