Drop Right In -
The landlord who put up that "trailer space for rent" sign didn't exactly have a drop-in customer in mind so he may have been a bit startled to discover a motorhome at the site - especially one flopped on its side. Motorhome was involved in an accident here Monday morning and wound up in what might under other circumstances have been the right place, but certainly wasn't planned that way. (2001.19.1251)
Spoiled Vacation -
Vacation time was spoiled for the Edward Donald Cormier family of Plantsville, Connecticut, when the motorhome they were traveling in was hit by an automobile at intersection of Broadway and College at 9:15 a.m. Monday. Family members , including four children ages 11 through 15, were shaken but released after being treated for minor hurts at Tempe Community Hospital. But their motorhome, toppled on its side, fared not so well. Drive of the auto which struck the motor home, Judith Rachel Hartman, 4417 South Grandview, was cited by Tempe Police for running a red light. Neither she nor an eight-year-old passenger in her car was injured. Both vehicles were traveling at speeds under 26 miles per hour. (2001.19.1253)
