Havana Man Killed as Car Hits Bridge Harold L. Turner, 26, of Havana was killed at about 10 p.m. last Thursday night when his car struck the bridge at the north edge of Danville. State Trooper Richard Powell, who was parked at Clemons Service Station, said he saw Turner go by at a high rate of speed and had started to pull out after him when he heard the crash three blocks away. Turner was pulled out of the car by Powell and others and taken to the Yell County Hospital, where he died a few minutes after arrival. He was apparently killed by a highway sign that pierced the car. A fire in the motor, which was several feet from the demolished car, was put out with a hand extinguisher by Powell. Turner was a student at Arkansas Tech and a member of the Assembly of God Church in Havana.
