Albemarle, N.C., June 26—A very serious accident occurred here this afternoon about 3 o’clock on the Albemarle-Raleigh highway, about four miles east of the city, when a Studebaker coupe, driven by H.L. Tucker of Charlotte ran into a Ford truck of the Albemarle Plumbing Company, and then hitting a Chevrolet coupe driven by J. Feiker of Raleigh.
Mrs. Feiker was the most seriously injured. She was brought to the Talley Brunson hospital, where she was found to be seriously cut about the face. Four stitches were taken in her forehead; four in her right cheek; and she received several minor injuries.
A young boy, who was riding with Luke Cook, the driver of the truck, received several cuts and bruises but he was allowed to go home after receiving medical attention at the hospital.
The accident happened on a sharp curve out from this city. The truck was going east and the Chevrolet coupe following some 150 yards behind both cars, being on their right side of the road. When the Studebaker car driven by Tucker came around the curve, it hit the truck with such a force as to stand it straight up in the road. Feiker, seeing that he was going to hit the two cars, cut to the left and Tucker hit him.
The truck was completely demolished while the Chevrolet was being broken out and the right front wheel torn off. The Studebaker car was turned completely over. Neither Feiker nor Tucker were injured.
Tucker was arrested by Officer Lowder and put under bond for his appearance in recorder’s court here Monday morning, it being charged that some liquor had been thrown from the Tucker car.
