Calvin Earley Victim; Two Others Hurt Vehicle Misses Curve, Snaps Two Poles, Rams Tree
MISHICOT-A deer hunting trip to northern Wisconsin ended in tragedy early Friday for three young men from Two Rivers whose car failed to negotiate a curve two miles west of this village on Highway 147.
Calvin J. Earley, 24, of 2614-14th St., was killed instantly in the crash and two companions were injured, one critically. Hospitalized at Two Rivers Municipal Hospital were Richard A. Meineke, 26, 2310 Washington St., the driver, and Sheldon Domnitz, 24, of 1714-21st St., Two Rivers.
Coroner Dr. Theodore Teitgen said Meineke was in critical condition with head and chest injuries and a severe jaw injury. Domnitz was believed to be less seriously hurt.
Numerous Injuries
Earley suffered numerous severe injuries including a skull fracture, crushed chest and broken arms and legs. A passerby, Richard Hess, 20, of Rt. 1, Mishicot, tried unsuccessfully to revive Earley at the scene with mouth to mouth resuscitation. (snip-traffic stats)
The accident was investigated by County Police Officers Tony Kubis and Leo Naidl, who said the three men were returning to Two Rivers from a hunting trip in the Eagle River area. They had left that city about 5 p.m. Thursday. Police were notified of the accident at 12:06 a.m. Friday.
Wrapped Around Tree
The officers reported that the car was traveling east on 147 at a high rate of speed when it failed to make the curve. It struck and broke two telephone poles before slamming head-on into a large tree which measured about 20 inches in diameter. The car reportedly traveled 383 feet off the roadway before it hit the tree. The 1960 model vehicle literally was wrapped around the tree. The pedal from the clutch or brake was found in the center of the front seat where the three men had been sitting. The steering wheel and dashboard were crushed up against the roof of the vehicle, according to Officer Kubis.
Meineke stayed in the wrecked vehicle. The other two were found lying just out the right front door. Several rifles owned by the men were smashed or damaged by the terrific impact.
