Headline: Bicyclist Hit By Motorist-Riverdale Man Treated At Dee Hospital; Search Begun

 

   John Stimpson, 45, of Riverdale was in the Dee hospital Saturday night in a semi-conscious condition suffering from concussion of the brain and a scalp wound after being knocked from his bicycle on the state highway near Chimes View.

Deputy sheriffs and police officers were searching for three youths whose car was reported to have struck Mr. Stimpson. Witnesses said they immediately turned their car around and drove back to Ogden without stopping. Herbert Allen and Raymond Allen were reported to have obtained the license number of the car which officers said is registered to Mrs. Mary G. Patterson, 146 East Fourth South Street, Provo.

Mr. Stimpson who is clerk of the Weber stake of the L.D.S. church, was treated at the hospital by Dr. E.I. Rich who said he did not consider the injuries critical.

Deputy Sheriff Joseph B. Wallace investigated the accident.

Later Saturday night police of Provo telephoned Nigh Jailer Samuel Tomlinson at the sheriffs office here that Robert B. Patterson and George Hanson, both of Provo, reported the accident at Provo.

Patterson, the driver of the car told Tomlinson that after knocking Stimpson from his bicycle they stopped and helped the injured man into another automobile which started for the hospital.

They turned their car around he said, and attempted to follow but lost the other machine, so proceeded on to Provo and reported the accident there.
