From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Half a day after a car slammed into a deep ditch and flipped, the victim was found unconscious under a bush by his father. A patrolman first on the scene was hit by a truck. The patrolman was taken to the hospital. The truck driver was charged with drunk driving. But more than two dozen authorities who scoured the area in Blacksburg for Daniel Walker Jr. failed to find him, though he was only 20 feet from the wreckage. “We just don’t understand how this could happen, how he could just lie there and no one find him,” said his aunt, Dorothy Wells.
