TRAINS STRIKE CAR; TWO HURT
Auto Bumped by Freight Into Path of Second at Oaklandon.
When their car was bumped by one train into the path of another last night at the Oaklandon crossing of the New York Central Railroad, Miss Georgia Jackson, 24, was injured critically, and her mother, Mrs. Bertha Jackson, was injured seriously.
South-bound over the Main-st crossing, the Jackson car was jolted by a west-bound freight train into the path of an east-bound freight.
The car was dragged several hundred feet and Mrs. Jackson was found in the wreckage. Miss Jackson was thrown against a pile of new steel rails.
Both victims, who live two and a half miles northwest of Oaklandon and who were en route to a P.-T. A. meeting at Oaklandon High School, were taken to Methodist Hospital.
