Traffic Wrecks Claim Two Lives
[long article about two separate accidents, including the following text]
In the earlier accident, State Police have charged a Frederick County man in the traffic death of a Washington man, Samuel C.S. Thoronka, 25, of Chaplin Street NW.
Daniel Ford Hedges, 82, of Rt.3, Frederick, who was listed Saturday morning in serious condition with head injuries at the Washington County Hospital, was charged with failure to yield the right of way in the 1 p.m. accident.
Police said Thoronka was operating his 1969 VW north on U.S. 15 when a 1964 pickup truck operated by Hedges pulled from Biggs Ford Road into the path of Thoronka vehicle.
In the ensuing collision, the Hedges vehicle overturned and came to rest on its top. Police said both vehicles were severely damaged.
Junion Ambulance and Walkersville Fire Company personnel worked for about 20 minutes to free Thoronka from his car. Both men were transported to Frederick Memorial Hospital, and Thoronka was later flown by the

State police helicopter to the shock-trauma unit of Baltimore University Hospital where he died at 11:45 p.m. Friday. He was earlier said to be suffering from “massive internal injuries and severe bleeding.”
Hedges was transferred to Washington County Hospital suffering from head injuries and a possible fractured skull. He was reported in “serious” condition Saturday morning.
Police listed driver error on the part of Hedges as the contributing factor in the accident, and said he was charged with failure to yield the right of way.
Trooper R.M. McCarty and Cpl. P.R. Sanders are investigating for state police.

Charles Henry Hedges, who devotes his energies and time to rural occupations, was born on the old Hedges homestead farm in Frederick District, on the Emmitsburg pike, Frederick County, January 23, 1858. He is the son of Daniel and Catherine (Devilbiss) Hedges. ... He acquired his education in the public schools at Dublin, Frederick County. He gave up school at the age of nineteen, and worked for his mother on the place farmed by his brother David, until he attained his majority. After his marriage, which took place in 1888, he began farming on his own account in Walkersville District, remaining there for one year. Mr. Hedges then removed to his present farm, owned by Clay Fulton, of Walkersville, and here he has since lived. This is a period of twenty years, and speaks well for Mr. Hedges.
