Gladys Smith, 6, Avoids Car But Struck by Motorcycle, March 18, 1922

Avoids Automobile Only to Be Hit by Coasting Motorcycle

Salisbury, N.C., March 17—Gladys Smith, a 6-year-old girl whose home is on the Dunn’s Mountain road, is in a Salisbury hospital suffering from concussion of the brain, injured when she stepped in the road after an automobile had passed and in time to be hit by a motorcycle that was coasting just behind the machine.

The cyclist, a Mr. Barringer, picked the injured child up and rushed her to the hospital where it was thought for a time her injuries would prove fatal.

After some hours she regained consciousness and it is now thought she will recover.
