Jones Had Narrow Escape When Car Turns Over Three Times On Highway No. 4, about two miles south of Elginfield; on Friday after- noon;; Mr. W. R. Jones had a nar- row ow escape from death when his Ply- mouth car turned over three times, landing in the ditch. His left arm was broken and he received a cut aver his right eye. Mr. Jones was alone in the car • ,vhen the accident happened. Earlier in the day he had gone to, Lucan with friends to see his wife. At Lucan' he picked 'up his own -ear to go to Lon- don on business. As he was passing another car, it swerved toward the wrong side of the road and at the same time a car, came out from a con- cession. In his attempt to avoid • an accident, Mr, Jones tried to go be- tween these two cars brit the bumper of the one that came onto the high- way caught his car and it rolled over and over into the ditch, finally ending up on its top. While the car was turn- ing over Roy was thrown into the back of the car and the fact that no glass was broken probably saved him from receiving greater injuries. To release himself from the car he had to kick out a window as the win- dows had seized. Mr. Jones' car is badly wrecked.
