The car crashed through the guard rail and plunged over an embankment. the other passenger, Billy Sturgill, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sturgill of Louisa, escaped with only minor injuries. Blackburn died in St. Mary's Hospital, Huntington, Friday, 7 a.m. of a fractured skull. The body war removed to the Young Funeral Home, Louisa and later taken to the Callahan Funeral Home, Inez, KY for funeral and burial rites. A Court of Inquiry, lasting about 5 1/2 hours, was held Tuesday by Judge Nile Ball to determine if there was negligence or law violation in the death of Blackburn. Billy Sturgill, the only survivor of the wreck and several other witnesses were examined and State Trooper Bob Morrison, who investigated the case, said several conflicting statements were made. Sturgill, to whom most of the questioning was directed, will submit voluntarily to a lie detector's test Monday. "If he clears it, so far as we are concerned, the case is over", the trooper remarked. Clifford Frazier, owner of the death car and who was driving Sturgill's car just back of the death car, had returned to Ohio and could not be reached for questioning Tuesday, but will be questioned at a later date.
