Binegar, Kenneth R. Binegar

Mishap claims life in Newport

(by Jim Bartholow, Times Staff Writer)

        A two-vehicle mishap in Newport on U.S. 50-A Saturday night killed Kenneth R. Binegar, 49, Newport Rt. 1, and sent five others to Marietta Memorial Hospital where they were admitted in fair condition.

        Still listed in fair condition today are two daughters,  Kyla M., 8, and Carey L.*

        Another daughter, Christina L., 9*, was transferred from Marietta Memorial Hospital to St. Joseph Hospital, Parkersburg, where her condition today is described as "fair."

        Binegar's wife, Verna M., was admitted to the hospital Saturday night, but was discharged from the hospital yesterday.

        Also admitted and listed in fair condition is a passenger from the other vehicle involved - Donna Cline, 18, Marietta Rt. 1.  The driver of the second vehicle, Lanny Howell, 18, Rinard Mills Rt. 2, was treated and released from the hospital Saturday night.

        According to the highway patrol report, Binegar was the driver of a recreational vehicle that was pulling from the Newport Foodland at approximately 9:07 p.m. Saturday.  The vehicle pulled into the path of a late model blue auto, driven by Howell.  The car was traveling north on U.S. 50-A at the time of the mishap.

        The accident report states that Binegar's vehicle crossed in front of the car.  Apparently, Binegar was trying to get to County 25, which intersects U.S. 50-A at the Foodland.

        After a preliminary investigation, the highway patrol has determined that seat belts were not in use in either of the vehicles involved.

        Residents of the area recall hearing only a loud crash with no screech of tires prior to the mishap.  According to the accident report, Howell attempted to avoid hitting the Binegar vehicle by going left of center.  The car slammed into the Binegar vehicle at the driver's door.  Both vehicles were carried from the road over a concrete catch basin cover and into the parking lot of Abicht's market on U.S. 50-A.  The Binegar vehicle flipped over on its top, while the blue car continued a short distance further, into a guardrail erected in front of the market near the highway.

        Market owner Dean Abicht stated that he heard the crash and that his first reaction was to go to the phone and call for help.  Another resident of the area, Mrs. Henry Nester, stated that she heard the crash from her home and then heard a woman's voice cry out, "Oh God help me, please help me."

        A relative staying with Mrs. Nester, Marcie Schneider, ran to the home phone for help.  Mrs. Nester lives three houses from the corner intersection, on County 25, which is Greene St., in Newport.

        Meanwhile, Mrs. Dean Abicht came into the parking lot, which was empty at the time of the mishap from the market.  The market closes at 9 p.m. on Saturdays.  She remembers seeing three girls’ bodies in the parking lot, with one girl thrown more than 100 feet from where the totally demolished vehicles came to rest.

        Mrs. Abicht also spotted another daughter of the Binegars under a nearby car and the third daughter in the open, badly bruised, apparently hit by a flying part of the Binegar vehicle's broken tailgate.

        Mrs. Abicht went back into the store immediately to get sweaters or anything she could find to keep the victims warm until help arrived.  Mrs. Nester could see part of the wreckage from her porch and she also rushed into her home to get blankets, rugs and sweaters for the small victims.

        Mrs. Abicht later stated, "They took my sweater and my husband's sweater with the girls to the hospital, but it doesn't matter.  We wanted to keep them warm."

        After making her emergency call, the Schneider woman rushed to the accident scene to help, stating, "I remember when I had a bad accident and no one helped."

        Both the Abichts and Mrs. Nester complained that an excessive amount of time elapsed before an emergency operator could be contacted.  The call from the Nester woman's home took 19 rings to be answered, according to her.  Soon after the contact was made, however, members of the Newport Volunteer Fire Dept. arrived.  Local doctor Larry Gale was also summoned to the accident scene.  Cars from the highway patrol, sheriff's department and an ambulance service arrived soon after the fire deparment came on the scene.

        The highway patrol is still investigating the mishap.  At this time it is not known if excessive speed was a factor in the accident which occurred under a yellow caution light in the middle of Newport.  The speed limit is 40 miles per hour in the village on U.S. 50-A.  It is a reduced limit for cars coming into the village from both the north and south, where it is 60 miles per hour.

        Mrs. Abicht states that the yellow caution light doesn't "really slow cars down much," especially drivers who use the highway frequently.

        After all the victims had been taken from the wreckage, Mrs. Nester reminded herself, "It could have  been any one of us crossing that road going for milk,"

        At approximately 10:30 Saturday night Mrs. Abicht bleakly stared through the front door of the market, looking in the direction of but not at the twisted and bloody wreckage.  She recalled that the Binegars had been customers of the market for many years.
