Mrs. T.E. Cochrane of near Newell, is in the Presbyterian Hospital in Charlotte with a fractured jaw bone as a result of an automobile accident Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Cochran, in a Dodge touring car, were driving toward their home from Charlotte, holding to the extreme right of the road in meeting a procession of cars moving in the opposite direction. Frank Johnson, colored, driving a Hudson touring car, was in the procession.
In trying to reduce his speed Johnson locked his wheels and skidded across the road, shooting his car head-on into the side of the Dodge, throwing Mrs. Cochran from her car to the pavement. Both cars were badly wrecked and thoroughly locked together that they had to be pried apart with levers. Mrs. Cochran is a sister-in-law of Mrs. A.H. Propst of Concord, who left this morning to be at her bedside.
From the front page of the Concord Daily Tribune, Monday, June 29, 1925. Last name of the injured woman was spelled “Cochrane” in the headline and first sentence, and “Cochran” in the next three references in the article.
