VICKY KAY FREIS cemetery #82 (Photos of the young people and crash are included in original article.) (edited for living people) 3 Kiel High School Students Killed in 2-Car Crash. Two Others Injured At Intersection. Three Kiel High School students were killed late Friday in a two-car crash two miles north of Kiel at the intersection of Highway 32 on County Trunk X. Injured in the triple-fatality accident were another local high school student and the driver of the other car who was alone in his vehicle. Killed were John P. Carr, 17, ... Kiel, driver of one of the cars. Vickey Kay Freis, 15 daughter of ... . Carol Marie Schneider, 15, ... All the victims were occupants of the auto driven by the Carr youth. Another passenger in that car, ..., a cousin of Vickey, also of Kiel, is at St. Nicholas Hospital. He sustained an arm fracture, concussion and is in shock, but his condition is not considered critical. The driver of the other car, ..., about 25, of R. 2, New Holstein, also is at St. Nicholas Hospital. He sustained lacerations, concussion and a leg injury. His injuries were not believed to be serious. Manitowoc County authorities said they were able to obtain only sketchy information concerning the crash as they had not been able to question either of the survivors. They said that both cars, a 1956 four-door sedan, driven by the Carr youth, and a 1965 two-door, driven by ..., were demolished. Both landed in the southwest corner of the intersection. Preliminary investigation indicated that the Carr vehicle was traveling south on Highway 32 and ... west on County Trunk X. Chief Henry Pleuss and Sgt. Vernon Klimet of the Manitowoc County Traffic Police, were continuing their investigation of the accident. The first report of the accident, compiled by investigating officers, did not indicate where the four teenagers had been earlier in the evening, but the officers assumed they were returning to their homes when the accident occurred. Dr. Theodore Teitgen, Manitowoc County coroner, who ordered an inquest, said that the Freis girl was dead at the scene. The others two died shortly after arrival at St. Nicholas Hospital. The triple death accident brought the Manitowoc County total for 1965 to 11, compare to 19 on this date a year ago. Authorities recalled that the last triple death accident in the county occurred on Sept. 6, 1964, at Highways X and A, only a few miles east of Friday night's accident. Three elderly Elkhart Lake area residents were killed in that crash. The Freis girl, a sophomore at Kiel High School, was elected the Kiel Chamber of Commerce's Harvest Festival queen last month. Friends of the family said that Vickey had been under treatment for a heart ailment most of her life and was scheduled to undergo further heart surgery. But despite her chronic heart ailment, she had become active in school and church activities. The Carr youth was a senior at Kiel High School. His father is sales manager for the cheese division of Lake to Lake Cooperative and his grandfather is State Sen. Peter P. Carr of the 15th Senatorial District, Janesville. Miss Schneider, a sophomore at the high school in Kiel, was active in school athletics and in Catholic Youth Organization activities at Osman. She was one of twin sisters. The injured youth, ..., has been handicapped all his life with a spinal ailment and is able to walk only with the aid of crutches. His brother, ..., was married this morning at St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Kiel. Both Jeffrey and Vickey had planned to attend the wedding. It was decided to hold the nuptial services as scheduled but only members of the immediate family attended. Miss Freis was born in Kiel, March 26, 1950, the daughter of Dalhardt and Judy Rosenthal Freis. In addition to serving as Harvest Festival queen, she had been active in the Girl Scouts, a member of the school band, vice president of the Kiel Youth Center, member of the First Presbyterian Church of Kiel, United Presbyterian Youth Fellowship and the junior choir of her church.
