  • Wreck occurs near Powell on highway 31 (2 lanes then) when a drunk driver
    pulled out and Mack swerves into oncoming lane to avoid hitting him. Vivien,
    being 8 months pregnant could not comfortable wear a seat belt, so Mack
    would not wear one either. My Mother, riding in the back seat, had her seat
    belt on and it saved her life. Vivien and the baby were killed out right. Mack
