BIG GREYHOUND BUS
WRECKED
Recklessly Driven Car Crowd
ed Vehicle From Road
Passengers Injured

Reckless driving Of an auto
by a drunken Negro caused the
wreck of a big Greyhound pas
senger bus here on Christmas
night, and the injury of eleven
passengers. The accident hap
pened just west of town, about
! five o'clock in the evening.
The bus, with it's load of pas
sangers, was enroute to Balti-
more, driven by Alfred Heller
man. AS it reached the small
concrete bridge, at the foot of
Pigeon Hill, just west of town,
the recklessly driven car, COM
ing down hill at break-neck
speed, crowded the big vehicle
off the road, a front fender and
wheel striking the concrete
coping of the bridge before the
bus could be brought to a stop
by the driver, who did his ut
most to avoid a collision with
the on-coming car.
The force of the impact with
the bridge coping, threw pas
sengers from their seats, a
number of them being painful
lly injured. They were brought
to the office of DR.. ]. B. Slicer,
who gave them medical atten-
ton. Among the injured
were:
Caldwell Stewart, Trenton,
IN. j., cut between eyes and
deep cut in nose; Mrs. Dixon
Van Nese, Mont Claire, N. j.,
bruises and nervous shock;
Mrs. Yetta Pressman, Philada.,
abrasions and shock; Mrs.
Irene Moore, Philada., cut on
lip and hand; Jeptha Penny,
Philada., bruised on right hip;
Thomas Towns, Negro, Phila-
d., injury to nose; Robert
Price, Negro, Washington, D.
c., cut on lip, possible fracture
of jaw bone; Mrs. Beatrice Nc
Abee, Wynnewood, Pa, cut on
lip and nose; Willie Lipscomb,
Negro, PAGES, Va, injury to
neck, abrasion Ion right leg
Junita Cooper, New York,
bump on cheek, profuse bleed
ing at nose; Grace Bond, Neg
ro, New York, abrasion on left
leg.
The passengers were taken
on their way by another bus of
the company some hours later.
The car driven by the drunk
en- Negro, that caused the acct
dent, did not stop. 1t was oc-
cupied by a party of colored
men, and had run into the auto
of Walter R. Harrington, Port
ers Bridge, a short time pre-
vious to crowding the bus
off the roadway.
The Negro drove off before
the State Police could be noti-
fed but the license number of
the car was obtained and the
driver arrested in Baltimore
the next day. He proved to be
William A. Jones, colored.
Given a hearing on Tuesday
morning before Magistrate
Cecil E. Ewing, he was con-
victed of failure to show Ii
cense after accident at Porters
Bridge; failure to stop after
causing bus crash; operating
car while under influence of Ii
quor, and reckless driving.
Fines and costs amounting to
$166.S0 were imposed, and he
was committed to Elkton jail
in default of payment or to
furnish $1,000 bond.
The bus was badly damaged.
