Two Pedestrians
Charged In Wreck
Two pedestrians who were
Inji.red when they were struck
by a car on the Joe Brown
Highway five miles north of
Murphy have been charged
with walking on the wrong side
of the road by Highway Patrol -
man Pitt Miller.
They are Clara Palmer. 15,
of Rt. 5, Murphy and Young
Bain, 22, of Cherokee County.
The accident happened on
J une 19.
They were struck by a car
driven by Robert Ervln Minor,
16, of Rt. 4, Murphy.
Miller said Minor swerved
Into the ditch In a sharp right
curve to avoid hitting the ped
estrians and an on-conilng
pickup truck. He said they
were walking or the right side
of the road.
Miller pointed out that a
state law, (OS 20-174), says
"It shall be unlawful for ped
estrians to walk along the
traveled portion of any high
way except on the extreme
left-hand side thereof, and
such pedestrians shall yield
the right-of-way to apprach
lng traffic."
