The accident happened on the evening of January 4th on Primary 14, 2 1/2 miles northwest of Conrad, as he and his wife were on their way to Marshalltown. The injury that proved fatal was a crushed vertebra.

After he was rescued from his turned-over car he was taken to the Deaconess hospital at Marshalltown. The family there were advised by surgeons at the hospital that they could do nothing to save him, after which he was taken to the hospital at Iowa City.
