"2 Hurled in Path of Bus and Instantly Killed --CAR AND BUS IN HEAD-ON COLLISION -- HAPPENED NEAR BLOOMING PRAIRIE, 15 BUS PASSENGERS INJURED -- HENRY BROCK, SR., OF ROCHESTER, W.H. GARDNER, ST. PAUL, VICTIMS -- Owatonna, Minn., April 17 -- Hurled across the path of a speeding bus when their car hit a soft shoulder of the road, Henry rock, Sr., of Rochester, and W.H. Gardner of St. Paul, were instantly killed last night in a head-on collision near Blooming Prairie. Fifteen passengers in the bus were injured, three seriously.
Brock and Gardner were both officials of the Tri-State Telephone and Telegraph Co.
The accident occurred on highway No. 40. Brook and Gardener were driving south toward Blooming Prairie. The bus, which was running an hour and a half behind schedule, was coming toward the Twin Cities.
Apparently, Brock and Gardner saw the bus approaching and swung wide to let it pass. Their car struck a soft shoulder of the road and was hurled back across the path of the bus and demolished.
The bus struck the automobile, careened off the right side of the highway over a five-foot embankment, plowed ahead 40 feet and stopped when it hit a steep incline.
The bodies of Brock and Gardner were found on the road some distance from the crash. Both were dead when bus passengers staggered from the bus and sought to aid them.
An inquest into the cause of the crash was planned for tomorrow.
Brock, 55, had lived in St. Paul until a few years ago. He was district governor of the Kiwanis Club at Rochester and had been president of the Rochester Commercial Club.
Injured passengers were picked up by a south-bound bus and brought here for medical treatment."--17 Apr 1930, The Brainerd (MN) Daily Dispatch
