Girl Seriously Injured After Forbes Road Collision
Dorothy Victoria Gray, 19, of Forbes, was admitted in serious condition to the District Hospital after a late Wednesday accident on the Orange Road. She rode with Martin Ryan on a Grange Road bicycle when a car driven by Mrs. McGregor overtook the tractor and struck Miss Gray, dragging her before the car wheels passed over her. The crash, judged accidental, involved no blame on either cyclist or car driver. The driver sounded her horn but the noise from a tractor and threshing gear prevented warning.
