Garry Lee Harmon, 17 year-old East Richland High School junior, received fatal injuries at 5:10 p.m. yesterday evening, November 12, 1956, when the bicycle he was riding collided head-on with a car on State Route 130 in south-west Olney. The car was driven by Neil Jorgenson, 21 of Noble, IL.

According to city police, who investigated the fatal accident, the car, a 1953 Ford, was passing a truck, driven by Tom Bowling of Olney, on Route 130 near Hollister St., just south of the B & O viaduct. The car collided head-on with the bicycle, being operated by young Harmon. The bicycle was traveling south and the car was proceeding north. The bike hit the car near the right front bumper and fender. The Harmon boy was thrown into the air and then struck the windshield of the Jorgenson auto. The victim was then thrown into a ditch, apparently as Jorgenson applied the brakes.

Harmon was rushed to the Richland Memorial Hospital by ambulance, where the injuries proved fatal a short time after arrival.

Authorities said darkness had fallen when the accident happened and the bicycle was not lighted. An inquest into the fatal accident started at 1 o’clock this afternoon at the Richland County Courthouse, conducted by Deputy Coroner, Robert Schaub.
