GIRL NEARLY DROWNED
WHEN CAR is DITCHED

An automobile accident that came
near to costing the life of a Pocahontas
girl occurred near Hoxie just after
dark last Saturday evening.
John johnson, younger son of DR..
r. r. Johnson of Holmes, accompanied
by Glen Gates of the Jonesboro A. &
Nj. School and Misses Mabel Wells,
Annabel SHUTTLE and Vivien Jackson
of Pocahontas, was driving a Ford
touring car which turned turtle in a
ditch beside the road when John turn
ed out to avoid collision with
another car
The road at the scene of the acci-
dent is very narrow and the recent
heavy rains had caused deep wash
out at the edge of the gravel roadbed.
Boards had been laid over the washout
to prevent further erosion. This pre-
vented the car from plunging to the
bottom of the ditch, which would al
most certainly have produced one or
more fatalities.
According to the youngsters, the ap-
preaching car was travelling at a high
rate of speed and holding to the CEN
ter of the road. To avoid a collision
John slowed down and turned out,
plunging into the washout, which he
could not see ON account of the blind
ing light from the other car.
The Ford turned upside down in
! the water of the ditch, throwing young
Gates, Miss Jackson and Miss SHUTTLE,
who were in the rear seat, clear of
danger but pinning Johnson and Miss
Wells beneath. The other car did not
stop to offer assistance, but woman
who was near the scene of the acci-
dent said it put on more speed and
rapidly disappeared.
Though dazed and excited, the three
who were clear of the car plunged in
to the ditch and succeeded in extri-
eating John but Miss Wells, who was
completely under the water, was pin
ned down by the weight of the car.
They succeeded in raising her head
enough to prevent drowning and each
took turns in supporting her while
Miss Jackson ran to a nearby house
for help.
Besides suffering from strangula-
ton. Miss Wells was badly cut and
bruised and after she was taken from
beneath the car she was rushed to the
home of w. A. Jackson in Hoxie
where she was given medical treat
ment,
! Her mother, Mrs. Lively Wells, was
notified of the accident, as were the
Stuttles, and all were assured that nc
one was dangerously hurt. DR.. John
son did not learn of the accident un-
til late that night when, becoming
alarmed at his sons continued ab
sence, he drove to Pocahontas in
search of him.
The young folks were brought home
little the worse for their experience
and Miss Wells was able to attend
school Monday morning.
The Johnson car was badly damaged
in the accident.
