TWO WOMEN HURT
IN AUTO COLLISION
RUNABOUT is WRECKED BY
TOURING CAR
Machine Propelled by Mrs. w. j. AUS
tin Struck by Buick Driven by
Its Owner, 3. Marshall
Wotkyns, Jr.
Especial to The Herald.l

PASADENA, Oct. 9.-Mrs. w. j..
Austin and her sister, Mrs. H. 5.
Kings, Of 281 South Orange Grove ave-
nue., both prominent in Pasadena So
ciety, were badly shaken up but only
slightly injured at noon today when
the electric runabout in which they
were riding was reduced to kindling
in a collision with the Buick touring
car of B. Marshall Wotkyns, jr, driven
by its owner.
While both women were hurled to the
street by the force of the collision,
the most seriops injury done was a
long cut on the cheek of Mrs. Austin.
Mrs King was thrown under the
wheels of the touring car, yet suffered
nothing worse than severe shaking
up and bad bruises. AS the accident
occurred directly in front of the Aus
tin residence the women were assisted
directly into the house by those seeing
the accident.
Mr.. Austin intimated this evening
that he might take legal action, stat
ing that he believes the car driven by
Mr. Wotkyns was making & speed of
thirty miles an hour and on this ac-
count its driver lost control of the
machine. The boulevard is 100 feet
wide and both machines were in plain
view of each other where the accident
occurred.
Describes Accident
Eugene Estoppey was an eye witness
and helped get the victims of the crash
into the house. He states that Mr..
Wotkyns, coming south, met the cleo
trio car, driving north, just at the
Austin driveway. Mrs. Austin, driv-
ing, started to turn into the house,
whereupon Mr.. Wotkyns swerved his
car to the left, not reckoning on the
quick turning power of the electric.
A touch on the steering lever by Mrs.
Austin as she saw the touring car
bearing down, whirled it about to the
right again, and the heavy car, un :
able to turn back to the right, crashed
full into it's side, hurting the eccu-
pants through the air.
Wotkyns, who lives at 728 Arroyo
Terrace, claims to have been making
but ten or twelve miles per hour, and
states he had his emergency brake set
when the crash occurred and that he
could not have avoided the accident
under the circumstances The fore
part of his machine was wrecked and
towed to Braley's garage for repairs.
