Clayton Man Hurt in Car Accident, Sept. 30, 1924

Clayton Man Is Hurt in Accident

Mr. R.T. Brady of Clayton was right badly hurt in an automobile accident near Garner Monday afternoon, being badly cut about the face and head and possibly internal injuries. His young son was also injured, receiving a bad cut just under his chin.

The accident happened just this side of Garner. Mr. Brady driving a Ford touring car attempted to pass a school truck and collided with a Dodge coupe approaching from the direction of Smithfield. Both cars were badly damaged. The driver of the Dodge, W.L. Cope, a traveling salesman, was not badly injured.

Mr. Brady was returning to Clayton from Raleigh where his wife is critically ill when the accident happened. He and his son were brought to Clayton by Mr. Linnie Parrish and given medical attention at Dr. Hocutt’s office.
