Wet Roads Spark Weekend Wrecks Across City
A string of weekend crashes started with a Saturday 7 15 a m mishap on the superhighway damaging a traffic island after Mildred Biggers of Rock Hill slid through a water puddle. Damage to her car was about 250 dollars and 25 to the island. A second crash followed when Hilliard Watson of E High Street struck a pale after failing to make a turn at Leonard and Thissell streets around 4 20 p m. A 18 year old Charles Grady Salter of Johnson Street left the highway, overturned a car, and faced reckless driving charges after speeding and failing to negotiate a curve. Later, Lena Grant Blair of Jamestown turned off Highway 29 A and was rear ended by David Talmadge Kirkman of Irwywood Drive who was cited for following too closely. A separate incident on Riverside Drive involved Lena Blair again when another car struck her rear after a heavy rain. In the late afternoon a John A. Reddish car hit a parked vehicle near Hamilton and Washington streets. Reddish faced reckless driving charges with about 500 dollars damage to his car. Nearby, Emma Lindsley reported slight damage to her vehicle. No charges were filed in one noted case yesterday. A William Elliott car on Leonard Street eastbound was struck by Billy Wright, but the report ends with incomplete details.
