DescriptionSuzanne B. Leroy, of Florida, was seriously injured when tractor-trailer truck and her car collided at College and Curry roads, Friday morning. Ms. Leroy was reported in stable condition at Tempe Community Hospital this morning. City's first memorial Day weekend traffic fatality was recorded later Friday - just blocks away from the College-Curry accident at Scottsdale road and Weber. City, county, and state law enforcement officers, warning that traffic was already heavy Friday with holiday weekend recreation-seekers headed for lakes, rivers, and mountains, are pleading: "Drive carefully - and watch the other fellow".
