Sunday afternoon, were injured when the plane brushed the top of one automobile and crashed it to throe others, parked beside the runway. The plane turned turtle after hitting the parked machines, but the pilot and four passengers eMaped injury. The accident occulted as the plane was attempting a take off. An automobile attempted to cross the runway in front of the plane, and its landing gear struck the top of the car. This caused the pilot to lose his altitude and sent the disabled craft into the line of parked cars beside the field. The injured are doing well and are not in a serious condition.
