Korhonen, age 22 years, of 57 Hazel street, Fitchburg, is un- | der arrest on a charge of reckless driving as a result of an automobile accident which occurred about § o'clock this morning on the Berlin turnpike about 1,0000 feet south of the bridge which spans the Beckley railroad crossing. Villard has a possible fracture of the skull and scvere lacerations of the head, arms | and body. The men, accompanied by Miss Lavina Korhonen, sister of the own- of the car, and Miss Edna Nis- lala, both of Fitchburs, were the oc- cupants of a small coach which struck the rear of another coach owned and driven by Joe Gladstone of 134 Irving street, Hartford, and then swerved across the road, went through the fence and turning over, crashed down a 10-foot embank- ment reducing the vehicle to junk and injuring the occupants. The two women were not scriously hurt but they were attended at the Meri- den hospital for laceralions about the head and body and for shock. The driver was suflcring from bruises. I Both Cars Traveling Fast State Policeman R. C. Grant from the Hartford Barracks, who investi- gated the affair and placed Kor- honen under arrest, was told that Loth of the automobiles were travel- ling. south with the Gladstone car in front. Korhonen evidently travel- ling at a high rate of speed, started to pass the car in front of him and misjudging the distance, the side ot his vehicle struck that of Gladstone. The impact sent Korhonen's car careening across the road and through the fence. Villard was rid- ing in the front seat witn the driver and the two women were in the rear. As the car turned a somersault, the top was ripped off and all but Vil- lard were thrown clear suffering cuts from broken glasa. The fend- ers and running board on both sides were ripped off, the front wheels were smashed and the machine vir- tually reduced to junk. Villard Crushed Under Car Pascersby and neighbors living near the scene of the accident, hurried to the aid of thrse in the | car. Gladstone stopped within about | 15 feet of where he was struck and all helped to pull the occupants of the Korhonen car from the wreck.
