Whitley county's 15th 1972 traffic death occurred at 1:40 p.m. Tuesday on County Road 350-W, nine-tenths of a mile north of Lorane, when Mrs. Patricia Ann Clem, 26, of R 6, died in the Whitley County Hospital emergency room of injuries she suffered in a 11:55 a.m. collision which took place on a hillcrest.
She was the wife of Thomas Clem and mother of three children.
Three others were hurt in the collision.According to Dr. W.L. Niccum, coroner, Mrs. Clem died of a ruptured spleen and splenic artery, head injuries, multiple lacerations and fractures including those to her right knee and left elbow. To replace blood lost by internal bleeding, a blood run was made but the emergency blood arrived to late to aid the victim.
With Mrs. Clem, northbound, were her 18-month-old son, Thomas Scott, and 3-year-old Mike Wellbrown, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bud Wallbrown, R 6. They were both admitted to Whitley County Hospital in "good" condition.
Thomas Scott Clem, the 18-month-old son, suffered a broken nose , facial lacerations and chest injuries. The Wallbrown boy suffered lacerations to his face. Mrs. Clem was babysitting for the Wallbrown boy.
The other driver, Mrs. Anne F. Holsclaw, 42, of R 6, was treated and released for facial lacerations and cuts to her left knee.
According to State Trooper Frank Kessler, aided in the accident investigation by Deputy Sheriff Larry Helfrich, Mrs. Holsclaw was southbound on County Road 350-W when the vehicles collided in the center of the road.
The Clem car was northbound.
While the accident remains under investigation, Trooper Kessler said today that apparently Mrs. Clem's car had protruded a little across the highway's centerline and at the last second Mrs. Clem steered to the right to bring the vehicle completely back into the northbound lane. But the sideswipe collision resulted with the southbound Holsclaw car. The Clem car was struckin the area of the left front wheel and left door. Mrs. Clem was not using her seat belt, it was reported.
The injured were brought to the hospital in the Hollingsworth ambulance.

Corrections: Patricia was born in Kosciusko County, Indiana and she was born November 18, 1945.
Family members stated that the Police told them that it was easier to blame the dead person instead of the living that is why Patricia was blamed for the accident but if you read this carefully you can see who was at fault. I can remember riding with aunt Pat and she drove real close to the ditch she never crossed the center line and other family members told me she did the same as I remembered.
After the accident Mrs. Holsclaw left the state in fear she would get sued. It was also said when the accident occured she ran to a nearby house hollering she killed a lady.
