Albany Herald - 11/7/1966
Claude William Limbaugh, 65, and his wife, Mrs. Luna Casey Limbaugh, 68, of 322 
N. Central St., were killed and several persons injured in a three-car 
collision on Newton Road yesterday morning, County Police Lt. R.L. Carter 
reported.
The lawman said the injured included a 16-year-old girl, the driver of a 1966 
sedan which ran headon into the Limbaugh car, who received lacerations of the 
right knee and a broken left foot.  He said two younger brothers of the girl 
were examined at Phoebe Putney Hospital for minor injuries and dismissed.
The lawman said a 1955 model station wagon driven by Burnice Wright, Negro, Rt. 
2 Box 391 was traveling north on Newton Road, slowed for a left turn, and the 
1966 model sedan, driven by the juvenile, whose name cannot be published under 
Georgia juvenile laws, swerved to avoid hitting the station wagon and crashed 
headon into the 1965 model car driven by Mr. Limbaugh.
Carter said the '66 model struck the rear fender of the station wagon causing 
an estimated $300 damage.  He estimated damage to the Limbaugh car at $2,500 
and damage to the car driven by the juvenile at $5,000.

of way and Burnice Wright would be charged with driving without a license.
