but not injured.Ap-
P««lmately $400 damage was
done to the front end of the car.
The accident occurred as Mrs.
Smith was on her way south
to the Deer Park Station, which
s he and her husband and the
Coopers operate. Traffic was
heavy at the time and the high-
way was slick due to rain when
-he Smith car, traveling 30 miles
an hour, approached an un¬
usually slow-moving car, also
headed south. Seeing that she
could not avoid hitting the car
in front after putting on her
brakes, Mrs. Smith headed her
car off the highway and chose
the bridge rather than risking
possible injury to occupants of
the other car or more serious
injury to herself and the child¬
ren by heading down a steep,
fill.
The other motorist, still un¬
identified, apologized for con¬
tributing to the accident and
continued on his w a y. Slick
front tires in the Smith car were
also a determining factor in the
mishap.
State patrolmen investigating
the call made by Mrs. Smith
credited her with ‘‘doing the
best thing under the circum¬
stances.” No changes were made.
