TRAFALGAR LAC. William Kensett, of Toronto, suffered a broken neck last Friday night, when the mid- get auto he was driving plunged down a 75-foot embankment after swerving off the Queen Elizabeth Way near Appleby Line. A friend, L.A.C. Gordon Fatum, riding with Kensett, was only slightly hurt, and climbed the embankment to summon aid. Fatum later told police he had been reaching over to hand his companion a cigarette when the mishap took place. "We were tra- velling about 45 miles per hour, when suddenly the car swerved, crashed through the guard rail, and hurtled down the bank," he stated. "Next thing I knew, I was lying beside the car at the bot- tom of the ravine." Dr. Russell Dingle, of Burling- on, attended the injured airman at the scene, where ambulance attendants experienced great difficulty in bringing the victim up the steep bank on a stretcher. He was removed to St. Joseph's hospital, at Hamilton. A few minutes later, a car driven by Douglas Smellie, Tor- onto, skidded and crashed into the side of a police car parked at the accident scene. Chief Con- stable Fred Oliver stated Smellie will be charged with dangerous driving. The Ross Stores "Oakville's Own Fashion Centre" PHONE 436 OAKVILLE better than previous ones.
