100 Years Ago: Automobile Rolls in Accident

June 13, 1911: Auto Turns Turtle - No One Badly Injured: one man pinned under machine escapes with few bruises, while other three are unhurt

What almost proved to be a serious automobile accident took place on the state highway, Rice's Hill, about 11 o'clock Monday morning, when a machine containing four occupants skidded and turning turtle pinned a man under the frame work, threw two young women against a barbed wire fence, and tossed the second man against the same wiring, in which the women were entangled. One of the rear wheels of the auto was smashed and number of other damages were in the machine, after it was righted.
