W. Jeff Ausbon and Will Pace caused a rear end collision Sunday night when they came rushing down Main street in a Dodge touring car at a rapid speed and struck the real wheel of a Ford car driven by Jodie Barnhill. The Ford was knocked entirely around, one wheel turn off, the seat knocked back about six inches and the car itself badly damaged.
Ausbon attempted to clear the Ford and took to the sidewalk, jumping the curb and going into a large elm in front of the residence of A.R. Dunring. The tree took one wheel off the Dodge, which went on down the sidewalk. Pace went nearly through the windshield but came back down in the front seat. He was cut some and Ausbon was hurt, but neither were hurt seriously.
Both Pace and Ausbon were escorted to the doctor’s office and after a little patching up were carried on to jail where they spent the night.
Yesterday they were ?? after they had sobered up and given bond for their appearance before the Recorder today.
