- Rural Boy Dies Of Injuries
Allen Weyenberg, 13, Outagamie's Eighth Highway Fatality
Allen Weyenberg 13, route 4, Appleton, died about 7:45 this morning of injuries received when he was struck by a car near his home about 7 o'clock Thursday morning.
Weyenberg's death was the eighth caused by highway accidents in Outagamie county since Jan. 1, and the fourth traffic fatality in the county on rural highways this year.
Coroner Bernard H. Kemps said no decision has been made on holding an inquest. Weyenberg was struck by a car driven by William J. Danforth, 23, Oneida, as the car was traveling south on County Trunk N about a mile and a half north of Little Chute.
Captain Ronald Decker said the youth ran from his home, on the west side of the road to join his father, Raymond, who had parked a milk truck facing north on N on the east side of the highway. The boy stopped to allow one south-bound car to pass, witnesses said, but then ran into the path of the second car, driven by Danforth.
The boy suffered compoint fractures of both legs, probable skull fracture and other injuries . . .
