ACCIDENT KILLS
D.R. BOY, 6

Trent Cheney, 6, of rural Deep River died Saturday at University Hospitals, Iowa City, the day after a highway accident at his home. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Roy Cheney, and a kindergarten student at Montezuma schools.

The youngster drove an all-terrain vehicle across Highway 21 which separates the Cheney farm home from the livestock barns. He drove into a car driven by Mary Ellen DeRonde of New Sharon. His father was nearby, carried the boy to the house and the Deep River Firemen's rescue unit was called. Taken by air ambulance to Iowa City, Trent never regained consciousness.
