May 16, 1975 Wheeler Road at Veterans Highway. A festive bachelor party ended tragically early today as three men, including the groom-to-be were killed when their car collided with a 39 foot tanker truck. Alexander Bogan Jr, was the guest of honor at a Thursday night party at an inn not far from the crash site. Bogan, his brother in law Louis Carpenter and a friend Raymond Larsen were all killed in the crash, which caused the truck to overturn and spill tar all over the roadway. The truck driver was not injured.
