Roy Collins was killed Friday afternoon near his home between Waynesville and Clyde, when one of the highway trucks struck him. Mr. Collins had just driven his car up in front of the house and stepped around the car into the road when a construction truck, loaded with hot asphalt, struck him, killing him instantly.
Young Collins was well-known in Sylva and Jackson county, being the youngest son of Mr. Joseph Collins, a former citizen of this county, a grandson of Mrs. M.M. McKee of Webster, and a nephew of E.L. McLee of Sylva, and having a number of other relatives and friend in Jackson County.
