Sutton Killed, Bagwell Paralyzed at Train Crossing, Nov. 18, 1925

Fatally Injured at Grade Crossing

Greensboro, Nov. 17—Bernice Sutton was fatally injured and Edward Bagwell paralyzed when the small truck in which they were hauling sand a mile south of Pleasant Garden, Guilford County, was struck by an Atlantic and Yadkin passenger train this afternoon.

Sutton was brought here to a hospital where he died tonight at 8 o’clock. Both legs were cut off and his skull fractured. Injuries to Bagwell were on the spine, resulting in paralysis. He is in a hospital here.

The men evidently did not see the train approaching the grade crossing.
