Wingham Hospital Board
ceritly adopted the following
j motion:
“As from October 15, 1953, a
Crash Victim Showing
Signs Of In
-—-“A— two-car crash on Highway
86/ three miles east of Luclqiow
about-:sixy o’clock last” SaturdsTy
evening, resulted in five persons
./• being , rushed to- Wingham. Hos
pital. Two ambulances and both
: local doctors were called to the
. scene of ‘the crash, which occur
red at a point in front pf the
farms of Pharis Mathers arid Ed
McQuillin. It was a shocking
sight, according to the first spec- i
tators at thb scene.
Involved in the crash "were five !
members of the Baker family of •
Lucknow, arid Tom Morrison, 45,'
garage operator of Whitechurch*.
Most seriously injured was Ed
Baker who suffered a* severe
skull fracture and has been Un
conscious since. He showed signs
of rallying on Tuesday and that
afterrioon spoke his first words,
. / “Hello son”, to his son Art. So
critically was Ed injured that it
•was first thought he wnuld^nnt,
live to reach the. hospital and
/ ; then for a time little hope was
held for his survival.
It was at . first feared that Mrs.
Baker , had suffered a fractured
, neck but x-rays on Monday dis
proved this. Bruce Baker, 12, suf
fered a badly gashed face from
his mouth to ear. Alvin Baker
suffered severe shock and bruises.-
six-year-old Eileen Baker
escaped injuries and was not
taken to hospital. Al was dis
charged on Tuesday morning" and
returned to town.
•Tom Morrison suffered fract-
ured ribs and chest injuries, but
not of a serious nature.
■•^^Mr. and- Mrs. 'Baker, who op-
eic^de the Baker Private Hospital _ _ .
l^^ucknowt had left for Orange- p /°F “sitiglp •' horse1
vi|je with three of their family
dtjfive children to visit Mrs.
Baker’s mother who was ill in
the hospital. Victor had decided
.—he did not wish to go along.
Car Demolished
In reconstructing the occur=-
• rence it sepms that Tom Morri-
sbn. was attempting to pass a
truck driven by Alvin Ritchie.
- Both were west bound. The
Baker car was travelling east and
in swerving and__braking—as—a-
collision seemed imminent, -the
rear left side of 'the Baker car
became the vulnerable spot for
the oncoming Morrison car, ; a
—4938 Chev. The impact split the
Dodge open on the side, and
twisted and sheared the rear of
the car in a manner that defies
description. The passengers were
all thrown out, with Mr. . Baker
lying lifeless-like on the road.
.. The car Was slewed around but
did not turn over. Neither did
. the Morrison car. It continued
up the road a distance. The driv-
,, er remained in the car until
police arrived. The front left of
the’ Chev. was crushed in. Both
cars were later pulled into town
; by Montgomery’s wreckirig truck
and were viewed ’by hundreds of
spectators. • - •
