Henderson, May 26 (AP)—One person is dead and two others today are recovering from injuries as a result of a collision between two automobiles six miles from here last night. Joe Pridgen was fatally hurt. Al Riggan sustained a broken arm and Annie Dickerson was severely cut about the face and head.
The collision occurred when Riggan, who was driving, attempted to pass another car. This car collided with a third car parked at the side of the road.
Riggan is held in $250 bond for appearance in Superior Court in connection with the accident, and the girl was held in $250 bond as a witness.
Pridgen died on the operating table in a local hospital. He was under bond to appear in United States court at Raleigh this week as a prohibition charge.
