Peter Hendrickson, Allamakee county sheriff, and Dr. R.R. Jeffries, acting coroner, investigated the accident and reported the truck had left the pavement about five miles northeast of Waukon on Highway 9.
Forrest Sheriff, the owner, sustained back injuries and was rushed to a La Crosse hospital. Langheim received facial injuries and was treated at Waukon, his condition not being serious.
