Wilmington, May 27—Four thousand bottles of Coca-Cola were broken and Louis Lawherne, an employe of a local bottling works, was seriously injured late yesterday when his truck, throwing a wheel, overturned on the highway a short distance from Delco. His two assistants jumped and were not injured. A passing motorist brought Lawherne and his assistants to the city, where Lawherne was entered at a local hospital.
The truck, carrying a capacity cargo of bottled drinks, 5,000 bottles, turned completely over.
