CRASH LANDING

LENGTH: Short :   21 lines
ILLUSTRATION: PHOTO:  DON PETERSEN/Staff. An unidentified man's car sailed 
          across Tinker Creek Friday night and landed with its rear end in the
          water. The car struck a guy wire at Eastern Avenue and 13th Street 
          Southeast near the SPCA about 10 p.m. It then went airborne for 
          about 150 feet, clipping a tree before clearing the creek and 
          hitting the bank. A crowd of about 20 onlookers waited for about 45 
          minutes while rescue workers freed the man from his car and lifted 
          him onto a basket color.
