Autos in fatal collision
Sanford Herald - March 14, 1983

Rescue squad workers Tim Sellars (left) and Craig Buchanan (second from left) use the “Jaws of Life” tool in the aftermath of the two-car accident that resulted in the death of Lemon Springs teenager Susan Darlene Deal Saturday night.

Sellars and Buchanan are working on the 1979 Datsun in which Ms. Deal died and driver Jeffrey Clyde Cox and passenger Barry Lynn Bridges were injured. In the right photo is the car driven by Stephen Fulton Craig which crossed the center line and hit the Cox car head-on at the Kelly’s Crossroads intersection.

Craig and passenger Robert Neal McGhee were also injured in the accident.
