On Tuesday afternoon about 5 o’clock as Mrs. Karl Johnson and Miss Rose Blandin attempted to cross Pennsylvania Avenue at West Broad Street, they were struck by a Ford Roadster driven by a colored man by the name of Harrington who lives two miles below Southern Pines near the Aberdeen Highway. Both women were knocked down, Mrs. Johnson was severely injured and is now confined to her home and reported as making satisfactory progress toward recovery from her injuries. Miss Blandin escaped with a few scratches and bruises. Eye witnesses of the accident say that Harrington’s car turned the corner at a slow rate of speed and that he signaled before making the turn. He was placed under arrest to await the result of Mrs. Johnson’s injuries.
