BADLY HURT BY AUTO
EUGENE D. YOUNG, FORMER RESIDENT OF HIGHWOOD, STRUCK
BY AUTO AT OWOSSO
A recent issue of the Owosso Argus contains the
following relative to a serious accident to a former
resident of Highwood.
"Eugene D. Young, Sr., aged 75, a Civil war veteran
residing on Robbins street was seriously injured last
night when he was struck by an automobile driven by
Guy Smith of New Haven township. His right hip was
fractured and it is feared that he is internally
otherwise injured. He spent a very restless night, but
was resting easier today.
"The accident occurred about 7 o'clock at the
corner of Main and Washington streets. Mr. Young was
crossing the street and it is apparent that neither
the driver nor Mr. Young saw each other until the
collision occurred. Mr. Young was hurled to the
pavement and dragged several feet under the the front
of the machine. The injured man was removed to the
National hotel where first aid was rendered. Later he
was taken to his home.
"Chief Patterson believes that the bright lights of
an automobile standing along the curb blinded Mr.
Young so that he did not see the approaching machine.
"Mr. Young was formerly employed as janitor at the
post office for several years..
