A 19-year-old New Holstein youth early today became Sheboygan County's 12th highway fatality of the year.

Tracy Westcott of 2025 Randolph St., New Holstein, was killed outright when he was pinned beneath the sports car in which he was riding on County Trunk J, about a quarter-mile east of the entrance to the Sheboygan County Marsh.

Westcott, employed as a drill press operator by Tecumseh Products Co., was a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth L. Kunde of 2831 S. 10th St., Sheboygan.

He and the former Cynthia Kunde were married at St. Andrew's Lutheran Church in Sheboygan on Aug. 8, 1960. They had no children.

Terrence W. Reiss, 24, of 1905 Washington St., New Holstein, driver and owner of the 1957 model MGA roadster, escaped serious injury.

Reiss gave investigating county traffic deputies this version of the accident:

He and Westcott were coming from the Elkhart Lake area on their way home to New Holstein about 1:15 a.m. Approaching the Marsh entrance at about 55 miles per hour, the sports car spun out of control on a curve and rolled over into the Herbert Henschel grain field on the north side of the road.

Passersby called the sheriff's department in Sheboygan and summoned Dr. John Martineau from nearby Elkhart Lake. The physician pronounced Westcott dead at the scene.

He attributed death to a broken neck and severe head injuries. Reiss, who was walking around in a daze following the crash, told officers he would contact his own doctor later.

Deputies Henry Hoppert, John Webb and Myron Frank reported the road was dry and the weather clear at the time. The top and rear of the car, along with a portion of a roadside fence, were damaged extensively.

Dr. Reed M. Simpson, Sheboygan County coroner, said today that no inquest is planned.

The body of Westcott, who had moved to New Holstein only a year and a half ago, was first brought to the county morgue at the courthouse in Sheboygan. Later, it was taken to the Erbe-Hoffmann Funeral Home at New Holstein.

The death puts the county about two months ahead of the local 1960 traffic fatality record. Last year's 12th victim was not recorded until Sept. 19. The total for 1960 was 21 deaths for the entire county.

The fatality raises the state's traffic toll for the year to 445, 21 ahead of a year ago.

Westcott, a native of Hillsdale County, Michigan, was born Dec. 4, 1941, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Westcott.

His father is also affiliated with Tecumseh, having moved his family to New Holstein from Maquoketa, Iowa, where Tracy received his high school education.

He belonged to St. Andrew's Lutheran Congregation.

An 80-year-old Sheboygan woman was killed and 10 other persons were injured - two of them critically - in a two-car crash Friday night on U.S. Highway 141 at Playbird Road north of Erdman.

The victim is Mrs. Lana E. Winkel of 1608 N. 18th St., a passenger in a car driven by John A. Pfister, 18, of 520-A S. 8th St.

Pfister was listed in critical condition at a late morning hour today in St. Nicholas Hospital, having received a possible neck fracture. Karen Winkel, 23, of 1408 Grand Ave., also a passenger in Pfister's auto, is also in critical condition in St. Nicholas with "multiple injuries".

A hospital spokesman said x-rays were being taken to determine the extent of their injuries, but had no report.

The traffic fatality was the 13th in Sheboygan County this year and the third one in two weeks. The 13th accident fatality last year, when a total of 14 occurred, took place on Aug. 12.

According to sheriff's deputies, who received the call at 9:50 p.m., the accident occurred when Pfister drove his car from Playbird Road into the path of an auto operated by Calvin K. Peterson, 43, of 1911 N. 15th St., Sheboygan, which was headed north on 141.

Others in Pfister's car receiving injuries were Sephora J. Pfister, 46, of 2307 N. 40th St., facial lacerations, and Thomas Winkel, 42, of 1408 Grand Ave., chest and abdominal injuries. Both are reported in satisfactory condition at St. Nicholas.

Another passenger, Kenneth J. Kregel, 41, of 516 S. 8th St., received lacerations to his forehead and was treated and released.

Peterson was reported in satisfactory condition in Sheboygan Memorial Hospital, with a possible facture of his right wrist.

Also in Memorial are two passengers in Peterson's car, Pauline M. Wagner, 27, of 1424 S. 8th St, and Janet L. Gorr, 44, of 1911 N. 15th St. They are also listed in satisfactory condition, with x-rays to be taken to determine the extent of their injuries.

Treated and released at Memorial were two other passengers in the Peterson auto, James A. Wagner, 37, of 1515 New Jersey Ave., and Jodine A. Gorr, 14, of 1911 N. 15th St.

Mrs. Winkel was pronounced dead at St. Nicholas by deputy coroner Dr. Robert Keller. The doctor said her death was due to shock, and deputies reported she also received broken legs.

All of the victims were taken to the hospitals by Sertich ambulances. Robert Sertich said the accident scene was "a mess - I haven't seen on like that in a long time."

One lane of traffic was blocked on 141, and a sizeable crowd of onlookers was attracted to the scene, he said.

No charges have yet been issued by the Sheriff's Department, pending further investigation.

Mrs. Winkel, the widow of Anton, was born July 7, 1894, a daughter of the late Arthur and Mary Mason.

Her marriage to Mr. Winkel took place Nov. 17, 1916, in St. Mary Catholic Church, Stockbridge.
