Wealthy Westporters Injured In Head on Car Crash

He suffered a fractured arm. In Greens Farms, Mr. Bedford and his daughter Mrs. Charles Bedford were injured when Mr. Bedford’s car hit a tree, throwing Bedford through the windshield and injuring both. Bedford sustained a forehead gash requiring stitches. Mrs. Bedford was shocked and shaken. Medical attention was provided by Dr. Hyde and Dr. Dun. The car was heavily damaged and towed.
