The drivers of bath machines escaped < with minor abrasions but Miss Ford was thrown against the windscreen, receiving cuts about the face from the broken glass and receiving other injuries to her head. Miss Ford was removed to the hospital immediately and was operated on last evening. Her condition last night was reported to be serious but not dangerous. Both cars were badiy damaged. The condition of Mr. S. W.
