13 Injured When
Truck Leaves Road
Five men remained in St. Luke’s
here this morning suffer-
from injuries received about
4:30 Monday afternoon when a
truck loaded with approximately 25
orchard workers went over an em
bankment on the recently complet
ed section of Highway No. 176
south of Tryon. None of those
who remained in the hospital were
thought to be seriously injured.
Several other passengers on the
truck were given treatment and
dir missed.
According to investigating offi
ce! s, the truck enroute from the
peach section near Gramling to
Hendersonville where most of the
workers lived, drove onto the soft
shoulders along the new road to
avoid hitting an approaching auto,
and continued on over the em
bankment as the driver was unable
to control the machine in the
placed dirt on the shoulders.
