GEORGE O'BRIEN'S SMASH.
George O'Brien, returning home form location with his new R.K.D.Radio picture, "The Renegade Ranger," saved the lives of two young deer, but in so doing deliberately smashed his automobile and risked his own life. "It was either my car or the lives of those two beautiful creatures," said the popular outdoors star. "I knew my automobile could be repaired, but the lives of those fawns couldn't." O'Brien was travelling at a moderate rate of speed on a roadway leading to his ranch when, as he rounded a curve, the two fawns suddenly decided to cross the road. The actor swerved his car to avoid hitting them. He ran off the highway, into a narrow ditch, and smashed his car into a heavy wire fence. He was unhurt, but had to walk several miles to reach his ranch home.
