A Hull woman suffered fatal injuries Thursday and her sister-in-law was in critical condition in a Sioux City hospital Friday as the result of a mid-afternoon truck-car collision at Perkins Corner. The car in which the two women were riding was completely demolished.

Mrs. Lydia Dethmers, 57 nother of Mrs. Carl Bierma of Sioux Center, died at a Sioux City hospital about three hours after the accident. Her sister-in-law Miss Annetta Dethmers, 69 who was driving the car at the time of the accident, suffered fractures of both legs, left arm and head injuries and severe shock.

Miss Dethmers, a nurse at the Hull Hospial for many years, is a resident of Sheldon.

The accident occurred at the intersection of highway 18 and 75. The Dethmers car was headed west and was about to make the curve to enter highway 75. The truck driven by Bernard Linquist, 32 of Albert Lea, Minn., was coming from the north and had turned off highway 75 to head east to Boyden on 18. According to witnesses, another car at the side of the road obscured the truck driver's view of the stop sign and he went on through the junction.

Patrolman George Dunn and Sheriff Harry Dykstra, who investigated the accident, held Lundquist temporarily pending the completion of the investigation. The semi-trailer truck, carrying a load of lumber to Boyden, was damaged extensively.

The women had left Hull a few minutes earlier and were on their way to Sioux Center to visit at the Carl Bierma home.

Funeral services were planned for Tuesday at the First Reformed Church in Hull.

Mrs. Dethmers is survived by her husband, Ike Dethemrs, a son, Rev. Vernon Dethmers of Middle Bus, N.J. and her daughter Lynn, Mrs. Carl Bierma. Also surviving are a brother, Marion Verrips of Boyden, and the following sisters; Mrs. Lena Kleyne, Mrs. James Smit, Mrs. Ray Rosenboom, all of Boyden, and Mrs. John Van Wyk of Hull. She is also survived by three grandchildren.
