WOMEN AND CHILDREN HURT IN AUTO CLASH
Charlotte Man Loses Control of Car and Collision Results

Special to the Observer
CONCORD, February 10. – Four women were injured and three children bruised Monday afternoon on the Kannapolis road when a man from Charlotte, who gave his name as Gus Economou, skidded so quickly across the road directly in front of the car they were driving that they were unable to get out of the way and a crash resulted.

The injured are Mrs. W. C. Lyerly, several ribs broken and badly bruised; Mrs. G. T. Crowell, left arm broken at the wrist and also badly bruised; Mrs. L. P. Davis, bruised; Mrs. J. O. Moose, an injured leg and possible internal injuries. The three children were miraculously uninjured except for some slight bruises.

The ladies were on their way to Kannapolis to look over the Reformed parsonage there, preparatory to planning for a parsonage for the Reformed church here when the accident occurred.

None of the women were thrown from the car, but one of the children, Ray Lyerly, about three years of age, was thrown from his mother’s lap, where he was sitting, through the windshield and was lying on the front fender when picked up. He was not even bruised. Billy Lyerly and Otho Moose, the two of the children, were both slightly bruised.

Mrs. Crowell and Mrs. Moose are in the Concord hospital from their injuries. Mrs. Moose had an operation on her leg in order to remove the key which jammed in it when she fell forward.

Economou gave bond for $250 for his appearance at court.
