Four Children Die
in Truck, Car Crash
OSAGE, IOWA - The collision of a car and a gravel truck at a gravel road intersection near here brought death to four children and critically injured a fifth.
Fatally injured were Jerry Isaacs 9, and his sisters, Charlene and Sharon, 7 year old twins, of near Grafton, and a cousin, Jimmy Isaacs, 5, of Osage.
In critical condition at a Rochester, Minnesota hospital was Donna Jean Isaacs, 11, a sister of Jerry, Charlene and Sharon. She has a brain concussion and multiple fractures of the skull, shoulder and ankle. She was brought first to the hospital here before being transferred to Rochester.
