Leave Ends In Death For Local Youth
A leave ended tragically for four young Marines early this morning when one of them, a Burbank resident, was killed and the others were injured in a traffic accident. Los Angels Police identified the dead youth as Brian Berry, 18, of 922 E. Tujunga Ave.
Berry was a passenger in a vehicle driven by Charles Searles, 17, of 606 E. Santa Anita Ave., when the compact car smashed into a telephone pole on Ventura Boulevard just east of Goodland Avenue in North Hollywood.
Searles apparently lost control of the car and it struck the pole at 7: 15 a.m., according to police. Also injured in the crash were Dan Blackwood, 18, 547 E. Magnolia Blvd., and Douglas Lamb, 18, of Glendale. The injured were taken to Valley Doctors Hospital in North Hollywood where all were reported in satisfactory condition. NOTE: Searles would later be killed in Vietnam.
