Clifford overslept and when he awoke, he found she had started the 40-mile trip in a taxi. Clifford, trying to catch up in his car, was clocked through Lehi at 50 miles per hour in a 30-mile zone, police said. A roadblock was established.

The roadblock stopped the fiancee's taxi and Clifford, close behind on ice, collided with the cab. Damage was set at $1,600 by officers. Clifford accompanied police to Justice Court in suburban Sandy to pay $50 fine for reckless driving, $10 for having no driver's license with him and in Lehi Justice Court he handed over another $50 for reckless driving. A sheriff's deputy rushed Miss Gerrasi to the airport here. She arrived in time to see her plane roaring away.
