The jury found that the accident was unavoidable.

Lewis was driver of the car, and the other occupant was William Grissom. Both of the men | were members of the crew at Oak Island Coast Guard station. Lewis took the stand at last night's hearing and testified that he was proceeding west on the Southport-Supply highway at the time of the accident. He claimed that he was not going more than 45 or 50 miles per hour. Just before the car reached the bridge, according to his testimony, he met another machine, and as the outline of the bridge appeared before him he stepped on the brakes to reduce the speed of his approach. When he did this, he reported, the car pulled sharply to his left.
