D. Thomas, highway mechanic, was badly injured though not seriously last night when he ran his car into a truck belonging to the Washington Tobacco Company on the Washington-Williamston highway two miles out from here.
An ugly gash, requiring seven stitches, was made in his forehead, and a hurt arm and a bad knee went to make up the rest of his injuries.
A colored man, riding on the fender of the truck and right where the car hit the truck, was hurt but not seriously. Both the truck and car were damaged to the extent that they had to be towed in.
The cause of the wreck could not be learned at noon today; several random reasons were offered by those seeing the wreck later in the evening, but they were of a widely varying nature.
