             PRINCESS ANNE BOY FATALLY INJURED IN BOULEVARD CRASH

           William Gordon Dies At Hospital; Others Hurt Will Recover

William Gordon, aged 16, whose address was given as R.F.D. No. 5, Box 157, died 
at St. Vincent's Hospital last night, the victim of the first fatal automobile 
accident that has occurred this summer on the Virginia Beach Boulevard.
Gordon's skull was crushed shortly before noon yesterday when the automobile in 
which he was riding with his brother, Robert D. Gordon, aged 19, overturned 
after a collision, which police believe was cause by a cloud of dust kicked up 
by a bus.
Robert Gordon also was injured more or less severely as were J.T. Lewark, of 12 
Wellington Avenue, South Norfolk, and a companion, who were in the second car 
figuring in this wreck.
The car in which the Gordon boys were riding was headed in the direction of 
Virginia Beach and the machine operated by Lewark was coming toward Norfolk. The 
Gordon machine was overturned and William was pinned beneath it.
