According to information obtained from the local police, William James SPARKES, of Gelli-Terrace, Pentre, was driving a motor-cycle, near Cilfynydd, while his father, John SPARKES was riding pillion when the vehicle collided with a similar machine going in the opposite direction and towards Cilfynydd. The latter was driven by Daniel EBENEZER of Wood-street, Cilfynydd. Almost immediately another motor cycle with a side-car driven by Frank WALTERS, of Cross-Thomas-street, Merthyr, came on the scene, and all the drivers and passengers were thrown violently to the ground. William SPARKES and his father were killed instantly, while EBENEZER sustained a broken leg and had a severe shaking. Mrs. WALTERS was thrown out of the sidecar, but escaped injuries except for a severe shaking. Her husband was found entangled in the two motor cycles, and after medical attention was removed in an ambulance to the Merthyr General Hospital. He sustained a fractured pelvis and fractured thigh. He was reported on Sunday night to have made a slight improvement, but his condition still remained serious. Dr. Tudor WILLIAMS was summoned and rendered all the medical assistance he could. EBENEZER was conveyed to his home in a serious condition. The collision took place on what is called the Common-road leading from Abercynon to Cilfynydd, which is straight and fairly wide. It is thought that part of the mechanism of one of the machines went wrong, thus causing the double fatality. John Patrick
