Boy Narrowly Misses Serious Injury in Downtown Street Crash
An eight year old boy was slightly hurt when he darted between parked cars and was struck by a southbound car on Court Street near State. He held onto the left headlight, reducing injuries, as police cite parental neglect risk. Driver John C Brookhart, 34, of Athens Route 3, cooperated. Donald Riley, son of Mr and Mrs Donald Riley of 107 W State St, was treated at Sheltering Arms Hospital for minor cuts and bruises. The incident spurred Police Chief J B Grogan to urge parents to supervise children in downtown areas. In other notes, Florence Gabriel, a long time Ohio Department of Highways employee and Columbus resident, retires after 27 years of service.
