Sheriff's men and Dr. John J. Breivis, an acting Broome County coroner, continued investigation today of an auto-pedestrian accident last night in Route 7 which claimed the life of a 10-year-old Sanitaria Springs boy. The victim is Lionel Deabler, son of Mrs. Lionel Deabler. He died of multiple injuries at City Hospital three and a half hours after the accident. The operator of the vehicle was James Schermerhoen, 37, of Towpath Road, Binghamton, R.D. 3, a friend of the Deablers. An autopsy conducted at the hospital this morning by Dr. Breivis disclosed that the boy suffered compound fractures of the right hip, right wrist and left lower leg, a crushing injury of the lower spine and multiple internal injuries. Dr. Breivis said he would issue a verdict of accidental death. The fatality--ninth in Broome County this year--happened in Route 7 at the intersection of the Hunt Hill Road in the Town of Colesville. Acting Sheriff Ross L. Cooley sent an ambulance to the scene about 7 o'clock. Deputies said the boy was unconscious when they reached the hospital;, where he died at 10:35 o'clock. Mr. Schermerhorn, an assistant foreman on the D.&H. Railroad, said during questioning by deputies that he was driving west in Route 7 at 35 miles per hour when he observed the boy standing in the middle of the Hunt Hill Road at the intersection of the north side of the main highway. He said he sounded his horn and explained that as he did, the boy started to run across Route 7 in front of his car. Mr. Schermerhorn said he swerved his machine sharply to the left but could not avoid striking the pedestrian. The right front fender struck the boy. As a result of the impact the youth was carried about 60 feet. The motorist who was accompanied by his wife, mr.s Shirley Schermerhorn, told deputies he was returning from Belden where they had taken a daughter to visit friends for the weekend. After the accident, Mrs. Schermerhorn stayed with the injured boy while Mr. Schermerhorn drove to the home of Justice of the Peace Floyd Cook to telephone Deputy Sheriff Ernest S. Youngs of Port Crane, who notified Acting Sheriff Cooley and went ot the scene. Deputies said the victim was helping his brother in delivering papers at the time of the accident. The boy's father is employed by the D.&H. Railroad as a signal man. The Deabler and Schermerhorn families have been friends for several years.
