The Ellaville Sun Friday March 25, 1938 No. 36 SCHOOL GIRL 7, STRUCK BY CAR AFTER LEAVING BUS, SERIOUSLY HURT Majorie Hambrick, Second Grade at Ellaville School, Suffers Broken Leg When Knocked Down By Car Driven By Negro Methodist Minister Here. Seven year old Majorie Hambrick, second grade honor student at Schley county public schools, who was seriously injured Tuesday afternoon when struck by an automobile as she crossed the road after alighting from the school bus at her home on the Americus highway, was reported :resting better" Thursday. The girl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Abner Hambrick, suffered a fracture of the lower right leg. The automobile which struck her was driven by the Rev. W.A. Wright, negro Methodist minister here. The driver is at liberty pending outcome of the girl's injuries, Sheriff E.C. Rigsby said yesterday. C.H. Greene, driver of the southbound Lewis school bus, said he stopped the machine at the Hambrick home about four miles from Ellaville to allow Marjorie and her three brothers and sisters to get off. The first child to cross the road, Majorie was knocked down by the car, he reported. She was rushed to Boyette's clinic for examination and treatment. Georgia law requires a driver to come to a complete stop and wait until all alighting children have crossed the road, and the bus has driven away. Two cars from state patrol headquarters at Americus rushed to the scene of the accident for an investigation.
