County Farm Agent Hugh Overstreet figured in a right bad automobile accident last Saturday afternoon. Fortunately, he was not seriously hurt, although he did receive some pretty bad bruises about the face and had one leg lacerated somewhat.
The accident happened near the Onslow-Pender line on the road to Wilmington. This is a nine-foot state highway. Mr. Overstreet saw another car coming and turned partly off the road so as to pass, the other car doing the same thing. At the time, a Dodge car driven by Charlie Brinson, a negro who works for the Highway Commission forces, came up behind and rammed Mr. Overstreet’s car, throwing him partly through the windshield. The County Agent’s car had a bent axle, smashed windshield, fenders damaged and other injuries. Brinson sent Mr. Overstreet on to Wilmington in his car and agreed to pay for repairs to the damaged car.
