  		Freak mishap proves fatal 1938 "Otto Wood Dies When Being Speeded to Hospital Here Crushed under a load of logs he was hauling in the vicinity of Tahuya, Otto Wood, about 35 (actually 49 years old), truck-driver for the Wood Logging Co., died in an ambulance at noon today as he was being rushed to Olympic hospital. Wood, whose father owns the logging operation, was found on a logging road by a fellow worker. According to a reconstruction of the accident, it appeared that the load of logs on the truck had become loosened while the machine was being let down a hill. The logs had swept the cab off the truck, shoving Wood ahead of it. He was found about 15 feet in front of the wrecked truck, his body crushed in the mishap. He was rushed as far as Belfair in a private car, which broke down at the Mason county community. The American Legion ambulance. of Bremerton was summoned and brought the injured man to Bremerton. He died at 12:20, just before the ambulance, driven by Stanley Pearce, reached Olympic hospital."
