In a collision this morning between the Kerr street jitney and a Ford driven by Martin Ford of this city, both automobiles were badly damaged and Mr. Ford suffered painful injuries to his knee.
According to officers who visited the wreck, the Ford was headed toward the depot on West Corbin street and the jitney was coming up Corbin street. The accident occurred at the foot of the hill near Bell Avenue.
Ford, it was said, leaned down to get some pop corn he had in the foot of his car and swerved, striking the jitney squarely in the front.
In addition to injuries to Ford, several of the passengers on the jitney suffered bruises and cuts. Ford is in the hospital today but is expected to be able to leave Sunday.
