Youngster Skates Into Truck's Path
James C. Gordon Jr., seven, son of James and Mrs. Gordon of 112 Whitlock Ave, received leg lacerations and body bruises after skating into a Winchester Coca Cola Co truck on Valley Ave. He rests fairly comfortable at Winchester Memorial Hospital. Officer Boyce ruled the accident unavoidable. The boy darted from behind a parked car and dirt pile into the truck’s path. The right front fender struck him and he was dragged about 13 feet before the truck stopped. Driver William Henry Brown, 113 W Monmouth St, faced no charges. Doctor Pifer called the injuries superficial pending X-ray results taken yesterday. The boy’s father is a former Miller School principal now attending VPI and teaching at Stephens City and Middletown.
