Two Zionville people were killed and three other persons injured last night about 7:30 p.m. when two cars collided on U. S. Highway 421 about three miles east of Trade.
Mrs. Mary Sue Trivette, 36, of Zionville, and her father-in-law, Dewey C. Trivette, 69, also of Zionville, were the fatalities. North Carolina Highway Patrolman R. D.

Mr. Trivette, Walker, and David G. Fenner, Shouns, a passenger in the Walker car, were taken to Watauga Hospital, Boone, N. C. for treatment. Walker and Fenner were released.
