- Semi- Truck Hits Cars' Truck, Tractor And Service Station: A 1964 White, Freight liner truck driven by Otho Middaugh of Council Bluffs collided with a 1957 Plymouth driven by Art Kutschinski of Charter Oak at 7:10 p m Tuesday night on highway 141 at the Northwest edge of Charter Oak. Kutschinski was making a left turn into Charter Oak and the eastbound semi was unable to avoid the car. The Takin Freight Lines semi of Waterloo then went out of control due to a damaged steering system, sliding and rolling into the Art Benningstorf Standard station. Both the Kutschinski car and the Takin Freight Lines tractor trailer were totally destroyed. Only the truck driver Otho Maddaugh was hospitalized with a fractured cervical vertebra and minor lacerations. He is listed in fair condition.
The semi then struck a telephone booth and Edward Preul's 1940 Farmall (M) with booster buck that had just been parked few seconds before. The weight of the totally destroyed tractor is attributed with slowing the forward motion of the semi enough to avoid hitting the gas pumps of Art Benningstorf's Standard station. The semi then careened off Reynold Larson's 1950 Chevy and totally destroyed it. Next in line was Henry Meyer's 1951 Ford, which was also totally destroyed and Frank Overhue's 1957 Chevrolet pickup was also hit. As the semi rammed all these vehicles it also knocked down several utility poles and hit the southwest end of the Benningstorf station.
Art Kutschinski was charged with failure to yield the right of way. Patrolman Robert Elliot of Harlan made the report and reported an estimated $30,000.00 damage was involved.
In the past week and a half there have been 4 semi trucks, 1 straight truck, and 6 cars wrecked on highway 141 between Mapleton and Charter Oak. One person has died and a semi with different trailers was involved in two accidents. (taken from a newspaper clipping from the "Schleswig Leader" dated July 2, 1964 and saved by Erna Friedrichs)
