FRED AGERS IS INJURED IN ACCIDENT NEAR BOWLING G.

Fred Agers, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Agers, of the Dry Fork section, this county, was critically injured Saturday afternoon around 5 o’clock when the pick-up truck in which he was a passenger, overturned on Morgtantown [sic] road near Bowling Green. He is under treatment at the City Hospital in Bowling Green, Ky.

Agers is a tenant farmer and resided on the Fred Newton farm near Hadley, Ky. Agers’ wife said the truck, a model A Ford pickup, was owned and driven by Elvis Henderson, who resides near Sugar Grove, in Warren county. Henderson was pinned beneath the machine until early arrivals lifted the car, but he escaped injury. Agers suffered injuries to his head when thrown from the truck to the side of the road.

The men were en route to Bowling Green with 400 pounds of burley tobacco belonging to Agers when the driver lost control of his machine on a curve. The tobacco was scattered over the roadway. Henderson, after being freed from under the car, wandered from the scene and was not located until about an hour later at residence in community.
