William Walters, 18, Thigh Broken, April 13, 1924

Leg Is Broken in Afternoon Mishap. . . William Walters, 18, Durham High Student, In Chapel Hill Accident

William Walters, 18, of 1129 Roxboro street, a student at the Durham high school, suffered a broken right thigh Saturday afternoon about 5 o’clock when he became pinned between two automobiles in Chapel Hill. The youth was brought to Watts hospital where the broken bone was set.

Young Walters was standing in front of his father’s car which was parked near the curb, when another machine, operated by the young son of G.H. Paulsen, superintendent of the University of North Carolina laundry, ran against the Durham lad. His leg was caught between the bumpers of the two machines.
