Two paducah residents
were killed, and two in-
jured seriously in a one-

Sunday evening.
Dead were Mrs. Verna
Lou Taylor, 33, and Her-
man Hampton, also 33, both
longtime Paducah resi-

nounced dead at the
scene, and taken to Lamb
Funeral Home, McLean.
Sustaining massive head
injuries, and in critical

the dead woman, and Ann
Vaughn also of Paducah.
Mrs. Ervin was transfer-
red to Amarillo Northwest

Care Unit, while Miss
Vaughn remained in the

The accident occurred
about 4:45 p.m. Sunday,
when the car in which
they were riding, left the
roadway at high speed,
crashed into a deep bar-
ditch, and slammed abrup-
tly into a concrete abut-
ment at the interchange of
Highway 70 and Interstate

The victims apparently
