SHERMAN HOTALING

 

 

Holyoke Enterprise, Holyoke, Colorado, May 21, 1964

 

Sherman Hotaling sustained a bump on one leg last Thursday in a traffic mishap on North Interocean Avenue. He was examined at the local hospital and was admitted as a patient due to illness. The accident injury was minor.  The mishap occurred at about 8:20 a.m. in the middle of the block. It was reported that Hotaling was walking across the street from the east, then unexpectedly reversed his direction and began to walk back the other way. He apparently did not see the approaching station wagon driven by Scott Sprague and stepped directly into the path of the vehicle. Sprague, traveling north, applied the brakes and skidded the wheels for several feet before bumping Hotaling.
