William and Arthur Jordan Killed in Car Accident, Oct. 22, 1921

Brothers Killed in Auto Wreck

Concord, Oct. 22—William and Arthur Jordan, brothers, of Harrisburg and Concord, respectively, were killed, and Tom Lee and son injured when a car driven by Mack Hodges turned over on the national highway near here at 1:30 o’clock this morning. Hodges, the driver, is being held by the coroner pending an inquiry to be held this morning.

The accident occurred just in front of Jackson training school, about three miles from Concord. The car, according to a witness, turned over three times and was going just about as rapidly as it could go. It was traveling in the direction of Charlotte.

One of the men was killed instantly and the other died about two minutes after one of the guards at the training school, who was the first to reach the scene of the accident, arrived.
