Wilspn Armstrong, son of, Mr.
Wm. G. Armstrong of town, a
peculiar'motpr accident last week in
luondon. Accompanied "by nis uncle,
he was driving in tfae Mount Pleas
ant district in that city and in man
ipulating an S turn on a ice-glazed
street, his car. skidded off the" road
way, across a sidewalk and / went
backwards down a 40-foot incline,
with practically no-damage done to
the car and.no injuries received by
the occupants.
Climbing back to the level "again
they discovered a lady lying on the
sidewalk at the point where they
had careened down the slope. This
led to a report that she had been
run oVer by their car and had suff
ered a broken leg.
However this was incorrect, as if
turned out that the lady had fallen
at that particular spot a moment
after, the motorists had slid down
the bank. She was tak?n to the hos
pital, where the extent of her injur
ies was found to be a head wound.
■’Wilson, after having his car haul
ed back on the road, visited the, hos
pital to find the lady had returned
to her home. He reported the pe
culiar incident to the police and was
not held, nor any charge laid.
