Auto’s Trail of Destruction Long, Varied
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (P) – Mrs. Ola Bragg Minter’s automobile sideswiped another car Sunday.
Police said Mrs. Minter continued up the street without stopping. A mile away she failed to make a curve and the car turned sideways, ripping up a street sign and 20-foot iron advertising sign.
Righting itself, the automobile rolled through a service station, damaging two gas pumps and striking Edward P. Hollock Jr., 21. He was carried 133 feet and suffered a fractured skull and broken collar bone.
The car careened out of control across a street and rammed into a residence. Mrs. Minter received a broken arm and head injuries.
Mrs. Minter was charged with leaving the scene of an accident and reckless driving.
