UNION SPRINGS --- Three members of a Chicago family died near here Thursday when their car skidded and slammed into a concrete bridge abutment.
   State troopers said George W. Hessberger, 45; his wife, Margaret Hessberger, 40, and their four-year-old son Billy Hessberger apparently skidded on U.S. Highway 32 some seven miles west of here and crashed into the bridge abutment.  Mrs.. Hessberger and her son were thrown from the car into the rain-swollen Bughall Creek.
    A Highway Patrol response crew dragged Bughall Creek to recover the body of the four-year-old boy.
   Troopers said there were no other occupants in the car and the Hessberger car was the only vehicle involved in the crash.
   Union Springs, the county seat of Bullock County, is some 40 miles west of Montgomery.
