DRIVER HURT WHEN AUTO HITS POLE ^Continued from page 1) As Ms. Leonard's car neared the intersection, she said the right front tire blew out causing her to lose control of her vehicle. It left the roadway and hit three rural mail boxes, destroying them. Ms. Leonard told police she drove on trying to find a place to stop her car when the right rear tire also went flat. A passing motorist took her to a service station for assistance. The reporting officer believed that the driver was attempting to leave the scene without notifying mail box owners of the damage and therefore issued the citation. Two McHenry drivers were ticketed after their cars collided on Route 31 south of Harts road last Friday night about 8:15. Kevin M. Haley of 3915 W. Maple avenue, McHenry, was cited for failure to signal when required and James M. Lennon of 4708 Garden Quarter, McHenry, was ticketed for improper overtaking on the right. County police reported that both cars were proceeding north on the highway when Haley's vehicle pulled off the pavement to the right side of the road. Lennon's car approaching at a high rate of speed tried to pass Haley's auto on the right side of the road off the pavement. When Lennon saw he would be unable to pass the other car, he applied his brakes, began to slide sideways and ran into the rear of Haley's auto.
