Burbank Daily Review, Monday, February 24, 1964
An enjoyable evening at a dance ended tragically Sunday night with the death of one Burbank youth and injury to three others.
Killed when their car went out of control and turned over was Paul Hekler,17, of 501 Dartsmouth Road. He was rushed to White Memorial Hospital where he succumbed to head injuries a few hours after the accident.
Injured were Miss Heli Lipp, 16, of 267 W. Santa Anita Ave.; William Shott, Jr., 16, of 1914 Winona Ave.; and Miss Suzanne Saurwein, 18, of 415 Birmingham Road. Miss Lipp was treated for head and rib injuries at White Hospital and was later transferred to Kaiser Memorial Hospital. Miss Saurwein and Shott were treated for abrasions and bruises and released.
Los Angeles police said they learned the four were returning to Burbank from a dance when the accident occurred. The car with Miss Lipp behind the wheel went out of control in the northbound lanes of the Golden State Freeway near Pasadena Freeway and turned over crashing into the freeway divider fence.
The dead youth's mother is prominent in community affairs, serving as treasurer of the Burbank Woman's Club. She is also membership chairman of the Burbank High School PTA and has been active in Girl Scouting. Mr. Hekler is in the insurance business.
The couple has two other children, a daughter, Renee, in college, and another daughter, Susie, a junior high school student.
