Bud Reed

Chanute, Kansas

 

Reed crashed into a tree while exiting the north turn.  While the race was stopped for the accident, referee Cleo White attempted to jump onto a car for a ride to the accident scene.  In doing so, he fell off and the car ran over him.  Both Reed and White were taken to Coffeyville Memorial Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.  While all of this was transpiring, it began to rain and that canceled the remainder of that night’s program.
