Two Are Injured In Highway Accident
"Miss Ida V. Thomason was seriously injured and Mrs. Ernest
Cochran was badly bruised in an accident which occurred on a highway near
Palestine last Friday night when their car collided with a truck.
"They were on their way to Waco, the car being driven
by Ernest E. Cochran. The truck was just ahead of them when the drived
suddenly started making a left turn with having given any warning.
"As quickly as he could Mr. Cochran turned his car in
the same direction in order to avoid a collision. The road was slippery,
however, and the car turned almost completely around, the rear end striking
the truck. This had the effect of springing the frame of the automobile
which allowed the door to open, the two women falling out on the pavement.
"They were taken to the hopital in Palestine, where
it was found that Mrs. Cochran was not seriously hurt. Miss Thomason,
however, suffered a fracture of the pelvic bone and it was necessary to
place her in a plaster cast. She will remain in the hospital for
three weeks before being brought home.
"On receipt of news of the accident, Mrs. Thomason, her
two sons, H.A. and Radney, left for Palestine."
