Two small boys returning from school at noon saw the accident and reported it to the nearest neighbor, Herb Nelson, who took Crawford to his home. He died at 8:45 p.m. as a result of injuries received. He suffered several bad cuts on the head a broken wrist, a dislocated shoulder and internal injuries.
