crashes,
20 killed

JASPER, Ark. (UPI)-A chartered bus carrying elderly
vacationers on a tour of the Ozark Mountains went out of con-
trol on a treacherous highway yesterday and hurtled through
trees down a steep slope, killing 20 persons and injuring 13
others.
The bus was believed to be exceeding the suggested
speed limit on a two-mile downgrade. Most of the victims
were women.
"THERE WAS DEBRIS all over the highway. Suitcases,
clothes and people," said Newton County Sheriff Ray
Watkins. "Several bodies were lying on the highway."
Only two of the injured, who ranged in age from 56 to 76,

were in serious condition. But Sgt. Jim Thomas of the state
police said even those able to talk were experiencing "ex-
treme trauma" and could not help authorities piece together
the cause of the accident.
Frank Wise, administrator of Boone County Memorial
Hospital in Harrison, about 20 miles north of Jasper, said
many of the injured could not even give their names when
they arrived at the hospital.
Watkins said the carnage was the worst he'd seen and
"I've worked some pretty bad truck wrecks up there. For
trucks, that stretch is very common for accidents. It's about
two miles down from the top, and brakes get hot if you don't
gear it down or don't know how to gear it down."
