Mrs. Leona S. Klunk, 103 Pine St., Hanover, was pronounced dead at York Hospital at 10:45 a.m., 15 minutes after Reliance Fire Company's ambulance had taken her to the hospital. Her son, Randy, was in serious condition in the hospital's intensive care unit with internal injuries. The housekeeper, Clara Kindig, 22 Monroe St., Hanover, was also in serious condition in the hospital's intensive care unit. She suffered a skull fracture, multiple fractured ribs, and a fractured right arm. Entered Intersection Chief of Police Harry E. Kochenour, of West Manchester Township, said Mrs. Klunk's 1964 Falcon station wagon was northbound on Highland Ave. when it pulled out from a stop intersection into the path of the truck, which was traveling east on Bannister St. The station wagon was pushed into two utility poles. The truck driver, Ernest L. Fleshman, 24, York Springs R. 2, was not injured. The truck is owned by G.A.F. Company, Inc., a subsidiary of York Stone and Supply Company. Dr. H.
