Racing Cars Injure Albert Walston and His 12-year-old Son, Elmer, May 8, 1923

Two Injured in a Wreck

Mr. Albert Walston and his 12-year-old son, Elmer, were injured last evening when the buggy in which they were riding was wrecked by an automobile on west Nash street at the intersection of West Nash and Pine streets. Mr. Walston received painful injuries about the head, while the boy was rendered unconscious. The latter was taken to a hospital and soon regained consciousness. It is not gbelieved that either is seriously hurt. Both returned to their home near Wilson last night.

According to information, it seems that two automobiles were racing up Nash street when in attempting to pass the buggy one of the cars struck the smaller vehicle. The names of the drivers of the cars are not known.

The buggy was wrecked, but the horse was not injured.
