While severely bruised, especially on the face and back of the head, fortunately no bones were broken, and she is improving nicely. The driver applied his brakes immediately, but the , roadway being down grade the car skidded some yards. The driver was quite upset by the accident, and in his anxiety about the child, remained over night and until it was seen that she would recover from her injuries.
