Face in the wall

Description: John Pullers transcribed personal account of the Face in the Wall in Terre Haute, Indiana. According to Puller, a young guy was driving too fast and hit the wall. The impact threw him into the wall face first. His face was imbedded in the wall. Now, this is meant to warn people against driving to fast.
