Local People In Car
Accident
Woman Injured. Car
Overturns Three Times.
While on their way to
Washington, D.C., last week-end to see the cherry
blossoms. Postmaster and Mrs. Phillip McDermott, in
company with Mr. and Mrs. V. E. Skelly, of
Bridgeville, Pa., narrowly escaped serious injury
when their automobile left the road and went over a
steep 25 foot embankment and turned over three
times. Mrs. McDermott suffered cuts about her head,
and injuries to her back, nothing serious however.
Mrs. Skelly injured her back, while Mr. Skelly hurt
his chest and head. Postmaster McDermott suffered
nary a scratch from his harrowing experience. The
injured were rushed to the Frostburg Hospital,
situated 25 miles from the accident, which occurred
at Winding Ridge, located on the outskirts of
Frostburg, Md.
As the Times was getting
ready to go to press the report from the hospital
was to the effect that all were getting along very
nicely, which is indeed good news to the many
friends of Mrs. McDermott.
