2 Newton Youths Killed in Truck-Motorcycle Crash
Two young rural Newton boys were killed shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday when the motorcycle they were riding collided with a pickup truck on a gravel road two miles south and a mile west of Newton.
Scott Agan, 14, and Tracy Williams, 13, both of Rt. 2, Newton, were presumably killed instantly when they were thrown from the bike, a 70 Honda, after striking a truck driven by Ronald Sloan, 36, also of Rt. 2.
Iowa Trooper John Simonson said Sloan was eastbound on gravel and the youths (it had not been determined who was driving) were westbound. Tracks indicated the boys attempted to get off the road but hit the soft shoulder and went back onto the roadway, striking the pickup truck on its left front fender, Simonson said. The cycle had no lights or license, he said.
Sloan told officers he did not see the boys until they hit the truck.
The accident was investigated by state troopers, assisted by the sheriff’s department.
(Funeral services for Tracy Dion Williams were omitted from this transcription)

Funeral services for Scott Agan, 14, of Rt. 2, Newton, will be held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the Toland-Wallace Funeral Home.
The Rev. Richard Schroeder of Newton will conduct services. Burial will be in the Newton Union Cemetery.
Friends may call at the Toland-Wallace Funeral Home after 3 p.m. Friday.
Survivors are his father Marvin Henry Agan of Rt. 2, Newton; his mother, Betty Jean Dawley Agan of Newton; two brothers, Dennis and Jeff Agan, both of Newton; and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Agan of Milo and Mr. and Mrs. John Dawley of Searsboro.
The youth, an eighth grade student at Central Junior High School, was born April 18, 1961 in Newton.
