Her neighbor, Otis Bowman, began a search along the five-mile stretch of road and discovered track going over the bank a short distance from where the road leaves the highway. Mr. Bowman had no lights so he went to the home of Sheriff Sabin and with the state police, investigated and found w’here the car had struck the trees, throw ing out LeRoy’s lunch bucket, a tire and one of his boots, as it slid down the almost perpendic- ular bank.
