West was pitched from the back end of a pickup truck on the Norwich-Amberville Highway shortly before 3 p.m. yesterday.  Landing headfirst on the pavement, he died instantly from a fractured skull, according to Dr. Earl W. Wilcox, coroner.  Adelbert S. Barton, of the same address, driver of the truck in which West was riding was later arraigned before justice of the Peace H.H. Goodnough at South New Berlin on a charge of driving an automobile while intoxicated, and was committed to the county jail to await a hearing, which was set for Tuesday.  Dr. Wilcox was asked if he would later charge [Barton] with manslaughter, and he replied that he would refer the matter to District Attorney Glenn F. Carter.  Sergt. A.E. Young and Deputy Frank Machio, called to investigate the accident, found that Barton, accompanied by West and Loren Voorhis, also of 3 South Street had been to South New Berlin to get a trunk owned by West. They had a small pick-up truck and the accident victim was sitting on the trunk in the rear of the truck.  On their return trip as the truck approached the small concrete bridge at Scheff's Corners, the driver suddenly pulled to the right, the truck striking first a concrete guard post and then the side of the bridge. The force of the collision threw the body of the truck directly across the highway into the path of the Cortland-Oneonta bus which was going in the opposite direction. As the bus struck the truck, West was thrown out on his head.  The Breese ambulance was called from Norwich and the remains were taken to the Breese Funeral Home at Norwich where Dr. Norman Lyster and Dr. L.T. Kinney performed an autopsy. Voorhis had a slight cut on the side of his head, and Dr. Wilcox ordered him taken to the hospital.  He was later discharged.  Lynn B. McKee, of Norwich, driver of the bus, andhis sister Hazel McKee, the only passenger, were unhurt.

Johnson died Friday night at State Hospital, Scranton, Pa., shortly after the crash near Page's Pond, Lakeside.  Highway patrolmen believe a tire blew out, throwing the car out of control.  It tipped over and rolled, fatally injuring its driver.  C.L. Terry of Nicholson took the victim to the hospital after he discovered the wreck by the roadside.  Highway Patrolman E. Gebhardt of New Milford investigated. The accident occurred on a curve.

The Blodgett child, running across the highway at Chenango Forks just before noon Saturday, was struck by the car of E. Byron Smith of Greene who sped her to the hospital.  He told Deputy Sheriff Ross L. Cooley, the girl had run to the road, hesitated and then dashed into his path as he sounded his horn.  He said he was traveling at 25 miles an hour. After taking the small victim to Binghamton, he returned to Greene where he reported the accident to Trooper James Braisted.

Aged Mr. Espey, who lives on Liberty Highway about a mile west of Owego, was hit as he crossed the road in front of his home at 5:30 p.m. yesterday. The accident machine was driven by Paul Gordon, 34, of Breckville, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, who was detained by authorities pending outcome of the elderly victim's condition. At a late hour, little hope was held for his life. The victim had started from the south side of the highway to the north side. Eighteen inches from his objective he was struck by the right front fender of the Gordon car, a convertible coupe.  Undersheriff Charles Holdridge and District Attorney J. Laning Taylor investigated.

Crossing Susquehanna Street near Exchange Street at  10:30 p.m. Saturday Snedaker was injured by an automobile driven by Gordon T. Hungerford, 33, of Whitney Point, police records say.  Hungerford removed  the pedestrian-victim to the hospital. The police ambulance had been called but was not needed.

Three-year-old Irene Albright was also struck by an automobile at 1:40 p.m. yesterday at Morton Street and C.F.J. Boulevard, Johnson City. She was taken to the hospital in a Johnson City police squad car.  Investigators failed to obtain the name of the driver of the machine.

Panasovich, operating a motorcycle on Route 17 in Tioga County at 6:30 o'clock last night, was thrown from his machine when it crashed into a machine at the Barton underpas. Wilbur VanRiper, 20, motorcycle passenger, was unhurt.  Investigators said Panasovich was about to pass a truck ahead of him at the underpass when an oncoming automobile blocked his path.
