Mott Dies after Crash Injuries
Vehicle Turns Over North of Larrabee
Melvin Mott, 23 of Route 2 Two Rivers, died shortly after 1 pm today at Two Rivers Municipal hospital of a fractured skull suffered when his car turned over on county trunk Q, a mile and a half north of Larrabee late Friday Night. He did not regain consciousness after the accident. Since he was alone in the car and no other vehicle was involve, there will be no inquest. Coroner Theodore Teitgen announced.
Tire marks on the road show that the car traveled about 312 feet before leaving the road. It apparently turned over and came to rest on its top. The car was going south. Mott was found in the ditch, according to officers.
Melvin Mott is an older brother of 20 year old Sydney Mott of Larrabee, who died of a crushed chest received when the car he was driving smashed a tree on Washington Street last August 29. Both saw service during the war. They were the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Willard Mott who live on a farm near Larrabee.
