Hickory, Oct. 25 (AP)—Harvey Lowman, 25, is not expected to live, and his brother, Marshall, 20, is not so seriously hurt, but both are in a local hospital today as a result of a grade crossing at Icard, about three miles west of Hickory, when train No. 21 struck the rear of their car. Information from the hospital this morning said his chest was crushed, one arm and a shoulder broken, and he had other minor injuries.
Marshall, his younger brother, has no bones broken and is expected to recover, said hospital authorities. Neither of the young men is married.
The car in which the victims were riding was not greatly damaged, said witnesses today. Its rear was struck by the train, and it was whirled around several times, flinging Harvey through the air. The boys are sons of Robert Lowman, a farmer who lives about two miles north of Icard.
