Five persons injured in auto accidents were carried to the Concord Hospital yesterday afternoon and last night.

The fifth is C. C. Lambert of Kannapolis, who was struck there by an auto late yesterday afternoon. He suffered severe injuries to his face and head but is not though to be seriously hurt. He stated this morning that he did not know who as driving the car which struck him as he started to cross Main Street in Kannapolis. He was brought to the hospital by a Kannapolis police officer. His left eye is completely closed, he has a scalp wound just over the left eye, several scratched and bruises on his face and both hands partially lacerated.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Frady and Miss Frady were returning to Concord from Tucker’s Chapel, where it is reported Mr. Wilson had preached during the day. At a point just south of Concord, Mrs. Wilson for some reason caught hold of the steering wheel, sending the car down a 10-foot embankment.

Mrs. Frady suffered a scalp wound that required several stitches and others in the car were scratched and bruised but none was badly hurt.
