Bio

Hudec, Vincent "Jim" Weimar Man, 7 Others Injured In Wreck Here A 75-year-old Weimar man and seven others from Columbus and Fayetteville were injured in a grindling, near headon crash at 3 p.m. Monday, at the intersection of Osage Road and Highway 90, 1.2 miles east of Weimar. In Youens Hospital with severe injuries is Vince ("Jim") Hudec, 75, of Weimar. He has a fractured pelvis, fractured collar bone and ribs, cuts about the face, neck and arms, and internal injuries. Taken to Columbus Hospital were the seven occupants of the other car, three with broken bones and all with various cuts and abrasions. Most seriously injured in the Columbus car was the driver, Mattie Winn, 44, who had both legs broken, a neck injury, and some facial cuts. The others and their injuries: Lela McDonald, 70, facial injuries, possibly a broken cheekbone. Timothy Wayne Whitehead, 8, right leg broken. William Thomas Whitehead, 6, face cuts and leg abrasions. Princess Whitehead, 65, deep cut on forehead. Margie Whitehead, 26, neck injuries. Elizabeth Orise, 45, broken arm and three broken ribs. She is from Fayetteville; the others are all from Columbus. Highway Patrolman Joe French of Eagle Lake said Mr. Hudec was going east in his 1954 Chevrolet and turned left off Highway 90 to the Osage Road, into the path of the westbound Columbus car, a 1960 Chevrolet. Both cars were total wrecks.
