COLUMBUS CRASH
RESULTS IN SUIT
Whiteville MAJ. Files For
Damages Sustained In
Accident, july II

WHITEVILLE, Aug. 2o.-J. E.
Bright Of Whiteville has filed a
damage suit in Superior court here
against E. H. Sheffield, also OF
Whiteville, for personal injuries
and property damage sustained
July IL when the defendants son,
Donovan, is alleged to have driven
his car into the rea: of the plain
tiff's tra%ctor-pulled wagon, an &C
cideat that proved fatal to Doris
Smith, daughter of Mr.. and MS. J.
p. Smith, who was riding with
young Sheffield at the. time of the
accident. The tragedy occurred
about three miles out of Whiteville
on the Clarkton road.
The 65-year-old farmer alleges
that on that night about $3.50 Dono-
van Sheffield was driving north on
State highway FOL in a 1910 coach
at an approximate speed of rs
miles per hour when, in order to
avoid a head-on collision with an
approaching car, turned into the
plaintiffs army cavalry wagon,
which was loaded with tobacco
sticks and was being towed in a
northerly direction. Bright claims
that in the ensuing crash, he was
thrown to the pavement, suffering
severe injuries for which he was
treated in the Columbus county
hospital.
Bright also alleges that his wagon
and 800 sticks were completely de-
stroyed and his tractor badly dam
aged. He charges that his personal
injuries, which included a broken
left leg, a hole in his right knee,
conclusion of the brain and severe
bruises to the right shoulder, have
kept him from performing needed
duties upon his farm. In addition,
he maintains that since he is still
troubled by his leg, head and
shoulder, that such injuries are
permanent.
