*************************Byron youths die in Friday wreck
Two 18 year-old Byron boys died last Thursday night in a wreck three miles west of Byron on Hwy. 14A.
Thomas Wolff and Larry McSharry, both 1976 Byron High graduates, were killed after their eastbound car entered the south borrow ditch and overturned two and one-half or three times, according to highway patrolman Bill Sintek.
The car was apparently traveling at a high rate of speed because it rolled end over end, Sintek said. Both boys were thrown from the car and sustained multiple broken bones.
Lovell boys traveling on the road at about 3 a.m. discovered the weck, which was not easily seen from the road. They reported it to Byron town police Stan Chabo, who assisted Sintek in the investigation. The Byron youths had been dead approximately two hours.
Wolff and McSharry were last seen by friends in a Lovell drive-in at about 11 a.m.
McSharry was a freshman at Northwest Commuity College in Powell and Wolff had been attending automotive college in Arizona. He was home in Byron for a weeks's vacation at the time of the accident.
Wolff is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Wolff, and McSharry is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John McSharry , all of Byron.
