5 Members of Family Dead In Auto Crash
MARENGO, Ill. Five members of a family were wiped out today when a car collided head on with a truck which then burst into flames and was destroyed.
The only survivor in the car was the driver and head of the family, Lavernon Bauscher, 28, of Lena, Ill., who state police said apparently fell asleep at the wheel.
Dead were his wife, Doris Louise, 26, their daughters, Bonnie Louise, 7, and Julie Ann, 3, and their sons, Michael John, 6, and David, 4.
Bauscher suffered from concussion and a broken leg but was taken to a Belvidere hospital where doctors expect him to recover.
The truck driver, Ben Connelly, 58, of Roscoe, Ill., who was driving a semi-trailer truck loaded with chemicals, escaped with minor injuries. The truck was owned by the Chemical Manufacturing Company of Beloit, Wis.
