Heppner Teacher
Involved in Crash
Rex English, Heppner High
school teacher, was in an acci
dent between Canyon City and
John Day Saturday night that
involved the 1-ton truck he was
driving and a pickup truck
which was occupied by a man
and a woman who lived in that
area. The woman, identified as
Mrs. Velda Schwick, was killed
in the accident.
English, alone in his truck,
escaped serious injury, and Wil
liam Nlsley, companion of the
woman in the pickup, also ap
parently was unhurt. Three
horses in English's truck were
thrown from the vehicle and sus
tained some scratches and lacer
ations. The Heppner man said that
he had stopped at the farm place
with the load of horses and had
started to back out of a drive
way, intending to take the horses
across the highway to a corral
on the other side. The rear of
the truck was on the shoulder
but did not extend on to the
highway, he said.
English said that he stopped
and could not see a vehicle in
sight. Suddenly lights of the on
coming vehicle loomed up, and
he could see it veering to the
highway shoulder. He estimated
the speed of the pickup at about
70 miles per hour and recognized
that it was headed for the rear
of his truck.
The impact threw him some
20 or 30 feet from the truck, tore
off the bed, bent the frame and
threw the horses out. The pickup
was demolished, careened down
the highway and came to rest in
another driveway across the
highway.
Mrs. Schwick apparently was
killed outright. Neither she nor
Nisley were thrown from the ve
hicle, English said.
