Five Injured in Auto Collision. . . Two Automobiles Collide on Cary Road 6 Miles from Raleigh

By the Associated Press

Raleigh, N.C, May 19—Five persons were injured this afternoon when two automobiles were in collision on the Cary road six miles south of Raleigh. Mrs. W.J. Light, said to be from South Carolina, was the most seriously injured, sustaining a broken hip and other injuries.

The accident occurred when a car driven by Mr. Light collided with one driven by W.E Graham, road contractor, of Rowan county. Mr. Graham was headed toward Raleigh. The accident occurred just after a roadster had preceded the Graham machine past that driven by Mr. Light. Mr. Light’s automobile was demolished while that of Mr. Graham was turned over on its side off the road.

Others injured were as follows:

W.J. Light, scalp wounds; W.E. Graham, cuts and bruises; S.L. Colvert, Charlotte, cuts and bruises; Ben Russell, Greensboro, cuts and bruises.

The injured were brought to a local hospital for attention and, with the exception of Mrs. Light, were able to leave immediately thereafter.
