Judge Sinclair, Miss O'Hannon in Hospital After Accident, July 14, 1924

Judge Sinclair Hurt When Car Overturns. . . Suffers Broken Ribs, Bruises and Shock—Miss Katie O’Hannon Is Also Injured

Albemarle, July 12—Judge N.A. Sinclair of Fayetteville was painfully hurt this afternoon when the automobile in which he was riding overturned and pinned him and Miss Kate O’Hannon underneath.

Judge Sinclair suffered several broken ribs and was badly bruised and suffered great shock. A bruise on the chest is apparently the worst injury except the broken ribs. Miss O’Hannon suffered severe injury to a shoulder blade which is thought to be shivered. The negro chauffeur was unhurt.

Both Judge Sinclair and Miss O’Hannon are in the Albemarle hospital. Tonight the report was that they were resting fairly comfortably and unless there were unforeseen developments both will recover.

Judge Sinclair had left Albemarle in his new car on his way to Statesville where his wife is in a hospital. The car had reached a spot about four or five miles from Albemarle, between here and Pee Dee, on the Albemarle-Raleigh highway. Information here is that it was not running fast. It is thought that the newness of the car may have had something to do with the chauffeur’s losing control. It turned over on a curve and pinned the occupants under it.

Passing automobilists brought the injured persons to Albemarle.
