Statesville, Nov. 12—An automobile collision three miles north of Statesville on the Wilkesboro road this morning about 9 o’clock resulted in the death of Quncey L. Sharpe, Iredell farmer, aged 53, and minor injuries for two other occupants of the car. Mr. Sharpe and his son were coming toward Statesville, the son driving a Ford touring car. They met a Chevrolet coupe on a sharp curve going north, driven by R. A. Lowry, salesman for the local wholesale grocery concern. Both cars were almost demolished.
Mr. Sharpe was thrown through the windshield of his Ford and his mangled body landed on an embankment. His death followed a few minutes later. Mr. Lowry was brought to Doctor Long’s sanatorium, where an examination revealed that his scalp was lacerated and one rib had been fractured. No serious developments are anticipated in his case. James Sharpe, son of the dead man, received a number of cuts and bruises but was able to return home later.
