Three Sisters, Bright, Hattie and Lola Yow, were fun over last night by Frank Kennedy, 19, who lives in West Concord, when he failed to see them walking on the highway near the Hartsell Mill. Two of the girls, Bright and Lola, are in the concord Hospital today on account of their injuries.
The accident occurred near the Hartsell Mill as the three girls were walking home from Church about 9 o’clock. Kennedy passed around a buggy and in doing so failed to notice the girls just in front until he had hit them.
may be doomed. He has been told that (sentence fragments that don’t make sense in this story)
Another story which is current is that Kennedy was so intoxicated that he had practically lost control of the wheel and had run off the pavement to the side of the road where the girls were walking. This report could not be verified at the police station and Kenney states that he did not see them on account of the buggy.
Kennedy is now held in jail until the extent of the injuries to the girls can be discovered. It is thought that Lola, 18, is the most seriously hurt, receiving a broken jaw and possible internal injuries. Bright, 16, has had her left leg broken but is otherwise uninjured. Hattie suffered no injuries.
A hearing will be held on Wednesday should the extent of the girls’ injuries be discovered by that time, otherwise it will be held later in the week.
The accident occurred about 9 o’clock, the girls walking to their home which is on the Charlotte road just beyond the Hartsell Mill.
