County Youths Die in Traffic Mishap
Two young men who were killed instantly late Saturday, March 3, 1968, when their sports car crashed into the front end of oncoming truck were identified today as Virgil Gail Qualls Jr., 20, of 1475 W 6235 S, and Thomas Glen Kump, 18, of 4790 S 4300 W.

The deaths raised Utahs traffic toll to 30 for the year, compared to 34 at this time last year. Salt Lake County Deputy Sheriff Ned Franson said the two men were passing another car on 2100 South at 6400 West when their auto began skidding sideways.

It veered across the highway into the path of the oncoming eastbound van loaded with furniture bound for Denver. Deputy Franson said the impact was so great the sports car was torn apart and hurled off the south side of the highway.

The van driven by Michael Warren Fisher, 24, of Los Angeles continued down the highway and went off on the other side of the road.

Officers were unable to determine which of the victims was driving the car.
