Posted with permission og the transcriber, 'Ann' Geo. THE WEST CUMBERLAND NEWS, Nov. 21, 1931 CRASH INTO WALL ______ Richmond Hill Accident ______ WHITEHAVEN MAN INJURED. A serious motor accident, involving three young Whitehaven men, occurred in the early hours of Tuesday morning at Richmond Hill, Hensingham. A Rover-10 Weymann saloon, belonging to Mr. John ROAN, Loop Road, Whitehaven, and driven by the owner, with Mr. Robert HOLMES, 17 King Street, Whitehaven, and Mr. Edward R. McCRAY, 23, Meadow View, Whitehaven as passengers, was proceeding from Cleator Moor to Whitehaven. When taking the corner for Hensingham at the cross-roads the car mounted the grass bank and crashed into the stone wall on the right side of the road, knocking down some five feet of the wall in the process. The car was completely wrecked and the occupants were rendered unconscious. Mr. McCRAY, who was the least injured sustaining bruises and a cut over the left eye, was the first to regain consciousness. He dragged HOLMES and ROAN from the car and then went down to Whitehaven for assistance. On his return HOLMES and ROAN were removed by Dr. MACKAY and the police to the Whitehaven Hospital. HOLMES had a broken arm and was suffering from shock, but was not long detained at the hospital, but ROAN's condition was found to be very serious. He had a deep wound in the back of the head and a deep cut over the right eye. He is still in the hospital in a serious condition. An unusual feature in the wreck of the car was that although the near side front wheel was buckled entirely out of shape, the tyre did not burst. The Weymann body was utterly wrecked, and only the presence of the windscreen frame prevented the roof from falling in altogether. _____________________
