Bing Crosby’s widow recovering after traffic accident
RENO (AP) – Bing Crosby’s widow, Kathryn Crosby, is recovering after being flown to a hospital with major injuries following a deadly traffic crash last month in the Sierra Nevada.
Kathryn Crosby, 77, was hurt and her husband, Maurice William Sullivan, 85, was killed in the Nov. 4 single-vehicle wreck on U.S. Highway 50 east of Placerville, California Highway Patrol spokesman Dan Stark said Thursday.
Kathryn Crosby, who has homes in Genoa and Hillsborough, Calif., was flown to Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno.
Hospital spokesman Dan Davis said Thursday the former actress is not currently listed as a patient.
“This can mean either this patient is no longer here or they have chosen to keep their protected health information private and do not want it released,” he said.
Sullivan was westbound when his vehicle left the roadway, struck a large boulder and rolled many times, ejecting him, Start said. The cause of the crash has not been determined, and an investigation continues.
