Mrs. Norman Foerster and Mrs. Dora McRae Elliott were injured painfully—but, as it turned out, not seriously—in an automobile collision late Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Foerster, accompanied by Mrs. Elliott, was driving her Buick home from Durham.
About four miles from Chapel Hill, Will Johnson of Pittsboro, going at high speed in a Chrysler car, sought to pass a truck ahead of him. There was not room for him to pass. He put on his brakes sharply and, although Mrs. Foerster steered off the pavement to get out of the way, he crashed sideways into her car. She was thrown out, and Mrs. Elliott was thrown against the steering wheel. Both of them were brought to Chapel Hil land were attended by Drs. MacNider and Abernethy.
Yesterday they were recovering. Upon inquiry it developed that Mr. Johnson was trying out the car; Mr. Michie, the Chrysler agent in Durham, came over to call upon Mrs. Foerster and assumed responsibility. Her car will have to undergo extensive repairs.
