From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Oct. 7, 1989:

• Erinn Walsh, a KU sophomore from Rapid City, S.D., had experienced an unusual evening this past weekend. Walsh had been watching television in the living room of an apartment at 1027 Mississippi when a pickup truck smashed through the wall of the living room shortly after 8 p.m.. Walsh reported that she had heard screeching tires before the crash, but she had thought it was normal because the apartment was in a high traffic area. The noise increased and then she had seen headlights headed toward the window. “I sat there in shock, the wall burst out and I pretty much just freaked out,” she said. “It’s not something you think would happen on a normal Friday night.” The pickup’s driver told police he had been pulling out from h is apartment to make a right turn and head north on Mississippi, but he had seen another car turning north from 11th Street, so he had accelerated to get out of the other vehicle’s way. His truck had fish-tailed, going off the street and into the building. The driver was cited for careless driving and no proof of insurance.
• Producers of the television movie “Where Pigeons Go to Die,” to be filmed in the Lawrence area, were accepting resumes and applications this week for extras and stand-ins.
